[rt2x00-users] [PATCH 1/2] linux-firmware: Update Ralink 2860 wireless firmware

[RA-Shiang Tu]

Hi Greg,

We always suggest to use latest firmware, because it's backward compatible and also has some enhancement, bug fix, or support of new chip
For rt5390 or newer chips, it shall upgrade the firmware to this version, or it may malfunction.

Regards
Shiang
