Thanks Peter. I did figure that out yesterday. Symlink seemed to work. I also pulled in https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/blob/master/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt as well. 

I did run into issues with wifi, but I'd like to test when the upstream is patched.

So that's an admission, must have missed that when we pushed the NVRAM
upstream. The NVRAM is device specific, it's not really a firmware,
but we know all the 3A module is the same as the B+ so you can
actually just do:

ln -s /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.txt
/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-a-plus.txt

I'll organise a PR for upstream to fix that.
