It was added to the upstream tree recently as part of the firmware
separation effort.

It's for a Motorola 56000 (aka DSP56000 or DSP56K) processor, which is a
different architecture but maybe with some similarities.  I doubt we
have any of the necessary tools but the code is short enough to hand-
assemble.

However, as I understand it, this source was written by the same person
as the driver and the binary that is embedded in it, and should assemble
to exactly the same bits.
