[arch-dev-public] [signoff] linux-firmware 20100623-2
It was an illusion to simply use the linux-firmware git tree and hope all firmware is there. So, I added a symlink for an unnecessarily versioned firmware (the firmware binaries are compatible, yet the kernel hardcodes a specific firmware version) and a missing atheros firmware that is only present in an oudated version. Please sign off.

Looks fine, although I am not sure that I actually use any of those... BTW, a couple of the files have 755 permissions which I do not think are necessary. Allan

Yeah, they have been checked into git like that, here for example: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=commit;... We should probably fix that too.
