Yes, this is an embedded part,
removing the wlconf.bin is actually allowing better backward/forward compatibility,
as the existing file does not support all flavors/HW removing it will allow the device to load using defaults instead of not loading at all.

I assume this is an embedded part, and not something for general use?
In general, we'd like linux-firmware to be decoupled from kernel
upgrades, so that distributions can upgrade them asynchronously, and
removing wlconf.bin could break existing users.

FWIW, you need to specify the public git:// url here instead of SSH.
