So this works with the same firmware as 4359? That sounds a bit off. Is
that really the case?

brcmfmac4359-pcie isn't in linux-firmware, but presumably there is
*some* semi-canonical firmware you can find for that chip that other
people are already using. If that works on 43596 *and* you plan on using
that firmware or some other firmware marked 4359, then this is fine. If
you are using separate firmware that shipped with a 43596 device and
isn't itself marked 4359, please make it a separate firmware entry. We
can always symlink the firmwares if it later turns out there is no
reason to have different ones for each chip.
