There's already linux-firmware@kernel.org (an alias I think, not sure)
for submitting patches to linux-firmware.git. I think it will be
confusing if we will have two separate linux-firmware destinations under
kernel.org domain:

linux-firmware@kernel.org
linux-firmware@vger.kernel.org

Maybe rename the new list to linux-fw-dev@vger.kernel.org or something
like that to make it more obvious which one is which?
