Your suggestion of the sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw repo makes no sense at
all, being for unrelated hardware and with very different firmware
goals. Perhaps a new common sigrok-firmware repo would be better,
containing both projects.

Let's see. The sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw repo contains source code, build
support, and external dependencies, to create firmware for several
devices that are based on the popular FX2 chip. Can't see a problem
with that, or even spot a blocker. Would assume that your new(?) repo
would even duplicate a lot of that existing stuff, to create an FX2
firmware from source code. Again: haven't checked, it's a guess.
No. Your mistake here is a philosophical one. A repository is a
container for a programming objective, be it a library, executable or an
application. This is particularly so in the case of embedded firmware.
It is not collection of random objectives linked by a common compiler
and/or build process. By your logic, several thousand github
repositories could be combined into one, creating an unfathomable mess.
To what end? To save a few KiB worth of git data files? I'll take
submodules or some duplication over that any day of the week.

And I don't speak for the sigrok project. It's up to them what they
intend or desire or find acceptable.
I originally bought the LA2016 as it was marked as supported on the
wiki, but this was not the case. It did not function at all in PV. I
created a (deliberately) minimal changeset to get it functional which
took 6 months to get merged. You're in a better position - you have the
LA hardware and commit access, and bypass any review or testing process
to force your changes through at will. So the Kingst LA support is best
left in your capable hands for now. In any case, the backlog of sigrok
PRs doesn't bode well for any new submission I could make, so I should
at least hold off until that clears somewhat.
