Although it wasn't actually using ihex records before, we use the Intel
HEX record format for this firmware -- because that gives us a simple
way to split it into separate chunks internally as we need, without
loading each part as a separate file.

Thanks for Jaswinder Singh for converting the firmware blob itself to ihex.

Since it had various regions to be loaded to separate addresses, and it
wanted to do them in fairly small chunks anyway, switch it to use the
new ihex code. Encode the start address in the first record.

Some drivers could do with using records like Intel HEX, but with each
record being larger than 256 bytes. This has been possible in the binary
representation (struct ihex_binrec) in the kernel since the beginning --
at least of the the current version of history. But we haven't been able
to represent that in the .HEX files which get converted to .fw files.

This adds a '-w' option to ihex2fw to make it interpret the first _two_
bytes of each line as the record length, instead of only one byte. And
adds makefile rules for %.H16->%.fw which use that.

Not the straight conversion to binary which objcopy can do for us, but
actually representing each record with its original {addr, length},
because some drivers need that information preserved.

Fix up 'firmware_install' to be able to build $(hostprogs-y) too.

For 'make modules_install', install any firmware required by
the modules which are being installed.

Also add a 'make firmware_install' target which doesn't depend on the
configuration, but installs _all_ available in-kernel-tree firmware into
$(INSTALL_FW_PATH), which defaults to /lib/firmware. This is intended
for distributors to make arch-independent (and config-independent)
packages containing firmware.

This will control whether we build firmware into the kernel image for
_every_ driver which we convert to request_firmware(), to avoid a
proliferation of 'CONFIG_XXX_FIRMWARE' options for each one.

Default to 'y' for now, which is the wrong thing to do but people seem
to be insisting on it and refusing to even review patches until it's
done. And it does preserve the existing behaviour for built-in drivers.

This allows arbitrary firmware files to be included in the static kernel
where the firmware loader can find them without requiring userspace to
be alive.

(Updated and CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR added with lots of help from
Johannes Berg).
