[RFC] linux-firmware: pull from commit hash instead of tag
This would enable faster support for new hardware, and avoid waiting for (possibly) two months just for `linux-firmware` to tag.

One can ask for hardware support with firmware not tagged yet but present in master, and we can update the commit hash along with the date of the commit to pull in that new firmware.

When skipping CI, uncomment and fill out the following section.
Note: for builds that are likely to complete in less than 2 hours, it is not
