I think it's fair to say that no device that is capable of running
mkinitcpio should actually use IPA_FW_PATH_DEFAULT, but rather some
device-specific firmware file.

Actually, yes, I should have thought of that too.

The default used here just specifies the path name
used *if the firmware file name is not specified in
the DTB*.

So I don't think this is correct regardless of whether
the MDT file is split or not. I think that's what
Bjorn is saying here.
