hook-functions: Add firmware from versioned directories too.
First see if there is a $(uname -a) versioned firmware around
and if there is add it first.
Builds the cpio image fine.
Thanks, Rogério Brito.

Please notice that it tries to find the firmware in a directory that is
version agnostic, but it is not always present. It should also seek
directories that have the version of the kernel in its name, like:
