This format does not appear to be correct. While this will seemingly
pass the `check_whence.py` check, it will be completely ignored by
`copy-firmware.sh`, as that takes the full line after 'File: ' (e.g.
'wfx/brd4001a.pds not listed in WHENCE', which of course does not exist).

I'm assuming the trailing ' not listed in WHENCE' needs to be removed
from each of these lines. Otherwise these are likely not being picked up
by distros (they are missing from Arch, for example). This may have been
the intention, but that seems odd (and unclear if so).

Ben
