The vendor driver rtl8188C_8192C_usb_linux_v4.0.1_6911.20130308 includes
new firmware files. These were extracted from data statements in that
driver to form these files.

Before this update, with version 80 of the firmware, the USB interface
of the RTL8192CU WLAN controller often locked itself up:
 usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -110
 usb 1-2: device not accepting address 4, error -110
 usb 1-2: device not accepting address 5, error -110
 usb usb1-port2: unable to enumerate USB device
 usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error -110
 usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error -110

On ARMv5 based GARDENA smart gateways running Linux 4.19.78, this can
be reliably reproduced by rebooting (warm) the gateway multiple times
(max. 50 attempts needed).
Unlike users having this issues on a USB Wi-Fi dongle, resetting of the
chip by replugging is not an option on this gateway due to the lack of
any power cut functionality. Therefore, a (cold) reboot of the whole
gateway is needed.

Updating the firmware of the RTL8192CU WLAN controller from version
v80.0 to v88.2 (as per output of rtl8xxxu) resolves this issue.
The problem did no show up anymore for 1000 restarts.

Please note:
 - Only rtl8192cufw_TMSC.bin tested (mainly on rtl8xxxu)
 - rtl8192cu seems to work as well as before, but I can not rule out
   that this new firmware version brings unwanted changes.
   The Realtek drivers containing v88.2 of the firmware
   (v4.0.1_6911.20130308 to v4.0.9_25039.20171107) have some changes
   compared to the version v3.4.2_3727.20120404, for which I do not know
   if those should be reflected in rtl8192cu.

Unrelated of the initially described USB problem, another issue still
remains after updating the firmware: Using the rtl8192cu driver,
scanning for available SSIDs yields no more results after a few hundred
scans (iw wlan0 scan). rtl8xxxu does not suffer from this problem.

Brcmfmac driver has firmware files coming from both Broadcom and
Cypress, the former Broadcom IoT BU. To better maintain files from
different sources, add a cypress folder and firmware/clm_blob files for
below chips:

 - 43012
 - 43340
 - 43362
 - 4339
 - 43430
 - 43455
 - 4354
 - 4356
 - 43570
 - 4373
 - 54591

The clm_blob files are on a generic world-wide safe version with
conservative power settings which is designed to comply with regulatory
but may not provide best performance on all boards. Users should use the
clm_blob files from their board vendors if available.

This commit adds the SDIO firmware for ath10k/QCA9377 cards. I obtained
the file from the Boundary Devices repo [1] before discovering that Kale
Valo's repo [2] is the original source location. It has the same license
as the existing firmware-5.bin file. Support for QCA9377 WiFi was merged
for Linux 5.7 [3].

The upstream folder is named 'untested' though this is explained in the
QCA9377 support RFT post [3] and comments. I also show dmesg output in
the same comments. Support for QCA9377 WiFi was merged in Linux 5.7 [4].

Kale did say he would submit this in his next batch of things [5] but
that was ~5 months ago and I'm on a mission to drop out-of-tree patches
from the distro I maintain.
