This specific file isn't available either in Debian or in the upstream
linux-firmware repository.  I don't know why the driver is requesting it
but that seems to be a driver bug.

The kernel team received a similar bug report
<https://bugs.debian.org/1109268> recently in which ath11k requested a
firmware file that didn't exist.  I have that bug on my list to
investigate.
