Not sure about the DMC team, but for i915 we upload the firmware to an 
FDO repo so that the CI system can find it and run the pre-merge testing 
with it. However, we don't send the final pull request for the real 
linux firmware repo until we have merged the i915 patch to 
drm-gt-intel-next and it is definitely going upstream. Otherwise, we 
might end up pushing firmwares to the linux repo that never get used.
