In Debian the installation path for firmware is
/lib/firmware/$(uname -r)

The current makefile produces file 3.13.0-rc4-armv7-x4-firmware.tar.gz
where the firmware is in the top directory.

I would prefer if 3.13.0-rc4-armv7-x4-firmware.tar.gz would provide the installation path.

Is there actually anything in the current "3.13.0-rc4-armv7-x4-firmware.tar.gz" that you actually use?

I only build it to package the cape firmware, (for the beaglebone)
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/stable-kernel/blob/master/tools/install_kernel.sh#L53

Of which we recently moved to:
https://github.com/beagleboard/cape-firmware
so now i need to transition to that instead.. So i'll probally just drop the in-kernel firmware.tar.gz building..

Otherwise, i just git clone this to /lib/firmware
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/
