Hi,

looks like the hashes for the linux-firmware git repository have
changed:

```

Git normally never creates a ref that ends with 40 hex characters
because it will be ignored when you just specify 40-hex. These refs
may be created by mistake. For example,

  git checkout -b $br $(git rev-parse ...)

where "$br" is somehow empty and a 40-hex ref is created. Please
examine these refs and maybe delete them. Turn this message off by
running "git config advice.objectNameWarning false"

```

This is also true for the non-master branches :-(

I wonder if it would help if we switch to non-git downloading the
commit archive from the snapshot URL, e.g.:

-LINUX_FIRMWARE_SITE = http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
-LINUX_FIRMWARE_SITE_METHOD = git
+LINUX_FIRMWARE_SITE = https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/snapshot

Best regards,
Jörg Krause
