If its just a firmware recipe and there aren't other files that do need
to be stripped, you could set:

INHIBIT_PACKAGE_STRIP = "1"

We don't have a mechanism to exclude specific files at present but we
could probably do with adding one. The code that does stripping is in
package.bbclass if you haven't already found it.

Cheers,
