Thank you both for testing.

I have investigated the issue on my side. It turns out that gzip is
really the issue here.

I have two PCs with Arch Linux. PC_1 is the one I have prepared
linux-firmware. Here gzip package info on that machine:

  [mniestroj at gm ~]$ LANG=C yaourt -Si gzip
  Repository      : core
  Name            : gzip

PC_2 is also Arch Linux, but with slightly more up-to-date
packages. gzip package info looks like this:

  [macius at zm ~]$ LANG=C yaourt -Si gzip
  Repository      : core
  Name            : gzip
  Version         : 1.9-2

You can find differences in package here:
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/log/trunk?h=packages/gzip

I have also checked output of gzip command on another PC with pigz
configured as gzip drop-in replacement. It outputs even different file,
with different sha256 hash.

I think the overall conclusion is that a host-gzip package is needed,
just like host-tar. In the meantime I will send v3 of this patch with
proper hash (the same as you calculated above).

Thank for sharing. After gunzipping your version and mine I ended with
the same *.tar files. So the difference was clearly because of gzip.
