If compatibility with older firmware locations is no longer a concern the previous patch submitted by Daniel is valid. If compatibility is desirable this patch is valid. I’m not fussed which one gets merged, as long as one of them is so the distro I maintain doesn’t need to patch the driver to use the “new” location (our buildsystem doesn’t process WHENCE which adds a symlink back to the old location the driver still uses).
