This new firmware is used with the new wl18xx driver that has been
recently added in the Linux kernel.  It will be part of Linux v3.6.

This new firmware's version is 8.2.0.0.100.

There are some changes in the newer firmware versions that are not
backwards compatible with older versions of the driver.  Starting on
Linux 3.6, we will need these new versions.

The new versions are X.3.10.2.115 for single-role and X.5.7.0.27 for
multi-role.

One more step on the road to entirely eliminating the concept of
packages.  I adapted the installation rules from the Fedora
spec file.

They should clearly be less lame, but to do so we'd need more formal
rules about which files should be installed.  Maybe just limit it to
things ending in ".bin" or ".fw"?

This blob comes from the out-of-tree mwl8335 driver.  It was intended
that the driver would be cleaned up and added to mainline Linux, and
would use this external firmware file.  Unfortunately that has not
been done and the file is redundant.

This new FW adds support in AFEX mode (multifunction using vntag
header).
It also fixes following issues:
1. Theoretical bug in GRO acceleration (only if the GRO Segment Length
   is a multiple of the SGE Size). This will allow removing the
   workaround from the driver.
2. When a TPA aggregation is open and a packet is accepted with
   timestamp OOO, the new packet begins a new aggregation instead of
   being indicated separately.

bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-5.0.0.j15.fw and cxgb3/t3fw-7.10.0.bin were
added by the respective maintainers, so assume the same licence
as for other versions of the firmware.

mts_mt9234mu.fw and mts_mt9234zba.fw were added by a user,
apparently with permission from the vendor but without any licence
specified, so treat them as unknown for now.

The latest wl12xx driver version now requires a new firmware type with
a different ABI.  This patch adds the corresponding 6 firmware
binaries.  Three for wl127x and three for wl128x.  Each set contains
one firmware for single-role, one firmware for multi-role and one
firmware for production testing and calibration.

This new FW adds the ability to aggregate packets for GRO (and not just LRO) and
also fixes some bugs. Please consider adding it to the FW tree:

1. Added new aggregation mode: GRO. In this mode packets are aggregated such
   that the original packets can be reconstructed by the O/S.
2. 57712 HW bug workaround - initialized all CAM TM registers to 0x32.
3. Adding the FCoE statistics structures to the BNX2X HSI.
4. Wrong configuration of TX HW input buffer size may cause theoretical
   performance effect. Performed configuration fix.
5. FCOE - Arrival of packets beyond task IO size can lead to crash.
   Fix firmware data-in flow.
6. iSCSI - In rare cases of on-chip termination the graceful termination timer
   hangs, and the termination doesn't complete. Firmware fix to MSL timer
   tolerance.
7. iSCSI - Chip hangs when target sends FIN out-of-order or with isles open at
   the initiator side. Firmware implementation corrected to drop FIN received
   out-of-order or with isles still open.
8. iSCSI - Chip hangs when in case of retransmission not aligned to 4-bytes from
   the beginning of iSCSI PDU. Firmware implementation corrected to support
   arbitrary aligned retransmissions.
9. iSCSI - Arrival of target-initiated NOP-IN during intense ISCSI traffic might
   lead to crash. Firmware fix to relevant flow.

The nvram file contains configuration info for firmware which varies
with different hardware designs. The version currently in the
repository is for a Broadcom-internal development board that is not
available on the market. This file is not applicable for any exsisting
end-user product. Users should use the nvram file that was
shipped with their device to avoid unexpected or incorrect behavior.
Remove the file from repository to avoid confusion.
