This shouldn't be flaged as an mtree error.  The reason that
linker.hints was left behind is due to this file is generated by
kldxref.  The port/package runs kldxref during the install of the
firmware module to update the existing or create a linker.hints file,
and when the package is removed, it runs kldxref again to clean up the
linker.hints file to only contain the modules in /boot/modules.  It
has no way to know if it is safe to remove this file.

Should Kernel Modules be running kldxref in /boot/modules?

Should I change the port to have a do-install target that installs the
bwi firmware kernel module so that it doesn't run kldxref during the
install?
