(Very polite! ;-))
If you look at his other messages you will see that this was probably
not Robert’s intention and that he did his best.

(Again not a nice implication.)
Anyways looking at the relevant commit
$ git log --follow recipes/firmwares/marvell-gspi-fw/9.70.3-p37.tar.gz
commit 7ea3026aa3c216f9943711771e9245b2b6ff7c84

marvel-gspi-fw: added firmware for WiFi bugmodule
This is firmware for not-yet-released-into-sales wifi/bt bugmodule.
it does not explicitly say, why the firmware cannot be made public
somewhere or if it ever will be available.
Having “perfect” commit messages in OE seems to still be a current
topic, so having a README file is certainly an idea I support at least
for the files the commit messages can not be changed anymore. This would
definitely help me and lower the barrier/learning curve to get to know
OE.
Thanks,
Paul
