Hi,
In discussion threads [1] [2], the new format of 8852b break user space.
To avoid this, introduce new filename rtw89/rtw8852b_fw-1.bin that old
drivers will not try to load it.
Rollback firmware version of rtw89/rtw8852b_fw.bin to the latest
version of original format (i.e. v0.27.32.1) supported by old driver.
The patches to support new filename in new driver are almost done,
and I will submit them soon. Thanks for the advice in mail and
bug threads.

Thx to both of you for submitting the revert and applying it.
Josh, do you plan to do another release soon? I fear that otherwise more
distros and users will run into this regression.
