The EEPROM release names were changed to follow the naming
in raspi-config some time ago. Since the firmware directory
is being renamed to be chip specific for Pi5 support it's
good time to swap the symlink / release names.
BCM2711 and BCM2712 require different EEPROM firmware and
consequently the binaries have been moved to chip specific
firmware directories.
firmware-2711 / firmware-2712
Update the test/install script to remove previous firmware files.
This fixes a problem where the install script failed because
beta is now a symlink and not a directory.
Remove the beta release folder and replace with a symlink to the
'latest' release.
Including beta firmware in the APT release causes unecessary churn
and occasionally causes an issue where a user might end up on an
old and unsupported beta release.
Instead, beta releases are will be feature specific and installed
manually via 'rpi-eeprom-config --edit beta-firmware.bin'
i.e. beta releases will be out-of-package custom firmware releases
downloaded from github. The functionality will be merged into
a new latest/stable release or abandoned.
N.B. The old beta releases have been archived to 'old' but are no
longer included in APT.
Debian's raspi-firmware package assumes the boot partition is mounted as
/boot/firmware/ rather than /boot/. This commit adds support for either
approach by default.
latest and default are links to directories, so follow them.

The busybox implementation of find does not detect recursive nested
symlinks, this results in it finding multiple instances of of_node
matching -samefile, the result of which then fails the -e path test.
The of_node symlink we're tyring to find should match the path
/sys/bus/nvmem/devices/*/of_node so just limit the find depth to 3 as
there's no point searching deeper than that.
