+;;;Some notes since this took a little bit to figure out
+;;;Use this function to grab what firmware you need
+;;;This is setup to clone the firmware repo as it was on

+;;;If you want to update go to kernel.org and find the current commit 
+;;;it'll be a long string like below, and then change it here
+;;;it'll fail when it runs your next guix commmand asking for this package
+;;;and will give you the new sha256sum needed which you simply put below
+;;;and that's that.
