Package: firmware-misc-nonfree
Version: 20250917-1
Severity: important

After the latest update of the firmware-misc-nonfree package, I'm
getting the following warning on my Rock 5B (rk3588):

[    8.764889] panthor fb000000.gpu: Direct firmware load for arm/mali/arch10.8/mali_csffw.bin failed with error -2

Checking for that file reveals it links to a file which does not exist:

```
root@rock5b:~# tree /usr/lib/firmware/arm/
/usr/lib/firmware/arm/
└── mali
    └── arch10.8
        └── mali_csffw.bin -> ../arch10.10/mali_csffw.bin
```

In the upstream repo it's a regular file, but I guess `dedup-firmware.sh`
converts it into a symlink.

I tried if the following patch would fix it:

```
diff --git a/debian/config/misc-nonfree/defines b/debian/config/misc-nonfree/defines

```

But that resulted in there being no 'arm' directory at all in the
resulting (Salsa CI generated) firmware-misc-nonfree deb file.
No idea what's then needed to get my firmware file back.

(Reported this from one of my amd64 machines, not the arm64 device)
