Add-add conflicts in firmware/WHENCE fixed manually

These are available elsewhere (for example in the linux-firmware.git
repository); they have no business being added to the kernel source
tree.

We are only putting stuff in the firmware/ directory of the kernel
source when it's extracted from long-standing drivers which used to
include it directly.

We didn't intend to open the floodgates to including megabytes of new
firmware which was previously being distributed separately.

Based on original patch by Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> and
Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org>, with the following main changes:

Separated the mips firmware and rv2p firmware into different files
to make it easier to update them separately.

Added some code to fixup the rv2p code with run-time information
such as PAGE_SIZE.

Update version to 2.0.0.

Adds the firmware to the firmware directory in ihex format so it can be
installed when doing make firmware_install.

Also update the firmware location in the driver code so it can locate
the files in the right place.

This should conclude the move to request_firmware().
