FYI, there are new bugs with new firmware versions for 8997 sent by NXP
to linux-firmware repository... and questions what to do with it. Seems
that NXP again do not respond to any questions after new version was
merged into linux-firmware repo.

So firmware revert also for other ex-Marvell / NXP chips is not
something which could not happen.
