Interesting, I like their approach of looking at the dtb for the firmware file names. Downside seems to be that it doesn't work with bitlocker enabled. I am happy to improve our current approach. It is quite pragmatic and certainly not ideal, my main motiviation was to get something that "just works" first. I'd propose we start with that and then improve it in-tree on salsa.
