In this case you might want to know that I’ve had a side-quest of rewriting the 
firmware packaging entirely:

- the firmware WHENCE file groups firmware into logical groups
- kernel modules declare in the ELF what firmware they load

So it should be possible to:
- add provides to the firmware packages
- automatically generate dependencies from kernel module packages to firmware 
packages
- automatically generate firmware packaging driven by WHENCE instead of having 
to hand-maintain packaging

WIth the end result that installing a kernel module results in the right 
firmware being pulled in.  Magic!

This is very much WIP but if you want to help test and work on it, then that 
would be welcome.  My ugly work-in-progress branch can be found in 
openembedded-core-contrib, ross/wip/autofirmware.
