Yes, it does seem to work just fine! The kernel now looks for
brcm/brcmfmac4359c-pcie.sony,kagura-row.bin as we would expect.

So the Sony kagura needs a special brcmfmac firmware like so many
other mobile phones. There are a few Samsungs with custom firmware
as well.
FWIW, Sony did a great job and agreed to license calibration files under CC0-1.0 [1] and the firmwares itself [2] have a Broadcom license attached to it.
The Broadcom license in [2] is probably not appropriate (have not checked it) and I would like to avoid having multiple license files in linux-firmware for Broadcom firmwares.
