David, could u, pls., clarify about the exact procedure of pushing the new FW 
to the  firwmware git: when exactly the new firware is going to be fetched to 
the kernel tree? 

I'm asking it because I am going to submit a patch that introduces a new FW 
and the new code will simply not work with an old FW.

Thanks in advance,
vlad

OK, so the new firmware gets a new filename, and you submit the new
firmware to the linux-firmware.git tree at the same time as you submit
the code changes to the kernel tree.
