There are at least two obvious ways to fix this.

We could try to rearrange things so we do not trigger
the rebuild of ihex2fw in the modules_install case.
This would likely involve creating a new file listing
all the firmawre files and share it between firmware/Makefile
and scripts/Makefile.fwinst

We could also move ihex2fw to scripts so it is build
as part of the preparation for a kernel build.

Attched patch does the latter.
[I will update the changelog before I eventually commit it].

Sam

Patch is in old-style but the majority of the patch is the file move.

Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: move ihex2fw to scripts

This fix a situation where we try to rebuild ihex2fw
when we do modules_install
