Old firmware provided by 'cypress-firmware' suite is not sufficient for
AP6335 module used in PICO-PI-IMX7D board to probe successfully. Use the
upstream version from linux-firmware instead.
At the same time, drop the old firmware from 'cypress-firmware' package.

- Binary files were renamed to cyfmac from brcmfmac, but the files needs
to be on the router with the previous naming

Thus change the project URL and switch to download files from their
GitHub repository. This is much better than the previous solution, which
requires finding new threads on their community forum about new driver
updates, and it will be necessary to change the URL each time.
Unfortunately, it seems that there is not published changelog, but
according to this forum thread [1], be careful by opening the link from
solution since it contains ending bracket ), it brings fixes for various
security vulnerabilities, which were fixed in 7_45_234.
Fixes:
- FragAttacks
- Kr00k
Also add LICENSE file
Run tested on Seeedstudio router powered by Raspberry Pi 4 CM with
package cypress-firmware-43455-sdio.

There are linux firmwares packages for 43362, 43430 and 43455 which shouldn't
be installed at the same time as Cypress firmwares.
