The last firmware change for the in-kernel firmware source code was back
in 2013. Everyone has been relying on the out-of-tree linux-firmware
package for a long long time.
So let's drop it, it's baggage we don't need to keep dragging around
(and having to fix random kbuild issues over time...)

firmware: convert acenic driver to request_firmware()2009-01-05T00:10:02ZJaswinder Singhjaswinder@infradead.org2009-01-05T00:09:40Zurn:sha1:949b42544a20fb22800e244a004ff45bd359a21b
We store the firmware in its native big-endian form now, so the loop in
ace_copy() is modified to use be32_to_cpup() when writing it out.
We can forget the BSS,SBSS sections of the firmware, since we were
clearing all the device's RAM anyway. And the text,rodata,data sections
can all be loaded as a single chunk since they're contiguous (give or
take a few dozen bytes in between).
