So I'm told this thing actually runs a full Linux, and consequently is
(or at least contains) GPL code.

With the carl9170 driver, the GPL firmware was required to be put as
buildable source code into the linux-firmware tree.

What should happen here? I expect the sources for this to be pretty big
unlike carl9170 (1.1MB source).
