Newer version of upstream removed symlinks from the source tree and relies to on WHENCE file for symlinks description. For instance upstream commit 1487a8abdbac("linux-firmware: nvidia: move firmware symlinks to WHENCE") removes symlinks form nvidia firmware. It breaks boot with nvidia cards. ./copy-firmware.sh script has to be used to install firmware. Reproducible: Always
