Sorry. Since it is small I'll simply split class-casts+release.diff and
attach both pieces just in case.

Making a directory for a single source file seams a little overkill,
although at some point could be interesting to have all firmware images
in the kernel on the same directory to be copied to initramfs or
elsewhere.

For now I don't think it is worth it's own directory, but I don't
really care as long as the functionality is there.

If I had to choose I would take drivers/base/firmware/

Thanks
