Just to confirm: that works either with CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y or
if you run 'make INSTALL_FW_PATH=/lib/firmware firmware_install', right?

I'm not entirely sure whether we should make 'make firmware_install'
install to /lib/firmware by default, or to $(O)/usr/lib/firmware as it
does at the moment.

The former is consistent with 'make modules_install', and the latter is
consistent with 'make headers_install'. Both of which have good reasons
for being the way they are.
