Since updating to Buildroot 2024.02, the iwlwifi loads a different version of firmware for Intel AX cards (reported on AX210) which also needs the pnvm file. However, unlike firmwares, the load method is different and the driver can't load a compressed file. Disable compression for all .pnvm files to fix this. * buildroot baa16784d2...55be56d521 (1): > package/linux-firmware: exclude some files from compression Fixes #3477

Fix AX210 firmware files, this time for real. In #3549 we still had only ucode and pnvm files for AX211, AX210 was still missing the pnvm file, because its ucode was provided through IWLWIFI_22000 without appropriate pnvm file. Both AX210 and AX211 firmwares are now installed with IWLWIFI_6E which includes both pnvm and ucode files. Also some firmwares which are not used by the current kernel can be removed, because the kernel always only loads the most recent one. * buildroot 01188d9c38...a2c10a16a0 (2): > Revert "package/linux-firmware: exclude some files from compression" > package/linux-firmware: fix AX210 support, stick to latest supported ucode API, reorganize the split Fixes #3477
