The firmware is stored on the card.  You can see the firmware package version
printed when the driver attaches:

bnxt0 at pci16 dev 0 function 0 "Broadcom BCM57404" rev 0x01: fw ver 20.8.171, 
apic 2 int 8, address 00:0a:f7:ae:e6:c8

or

bnxt0 at pci10 dev 0 function 0 "Broadcom BCM57416" rev 0x00: fw ver 20.6.151, 
apic 131 int 12, address d0:94:66:45:11:d0
