How about the attached version that only includes the ucode files ?

Subject: [PATCH] b43: Declare at least one real firmware file using MODULE_FIRMWARE.

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/488636

Enhances module information with the names of the firmware files
that could be used by this driver. This helps tools like Jockey to
correctly detect and/or install the firmware files relevant to
this driver.
