The files imported from linux-firmware are associated with an extra step where symbolic links are created based on a text file, called WHENCE. Without this, some of the drivers cannot work because they will not be able to find the required firmware.

Fixes pgj/freebsd-wifibox#137

The files imported from `linux-firmware` are associated with an
extra step [1] where symbolic links are created based on a text
file, called `WHENCE` [2].  Without this, some of the drivers
cannot work because they will not be able to find the required
firmware.
