Clone git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git,
add your firmware (and update the WHENCE file accordingly), and send me
a pull request. Preferably with a Signed-off-by: from within the company
that owns the firmware in question.

We're working on _removing_ this crap from the kernel source tree -- not
adding new instances of it. We have a separate repository in which we're
collecting redistributable firmware images, and the distributions are
moving towards shipping that instead of just the legacy stuff from the
kernel tree. Add any new firmware to that repository instead, as
described above.
