Commit 5620a0d1aac ("firmware: delete in-kernel firmware") removed the
entire firmware directory.  Unfortunately it thereby also removed the
support for built-in firmware.

This restores the ability to build firmware directly into the kernel by
pruning the original Makefile to the necessary minimum.  The default for
EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR is now the standard directory /lib/firmware/.

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...)

If you modify the target asm we currently do not force the recompilation
of the firmware files.  The target asm is in the firmware/Makefile, peg
this file as a dependency to require re-compilation of firmware targets
when the asm changes.

While https was always supported on linuxtv.org, only in
Dec 3 2015 the website is using valid certificates.

As we're planning to drop pure http support on some
future, change the http://linuxtv.org references at firmware/WHENCE
file to point to https://linuxtv.org instead.

Kyle McMartin joined the linux-firmware maintainers, and we now
have an alias &lt;linux-firmware@kernel.org&gt; which reaches all of us.
Include that instead of the individual addresses.

Add some further recommendations that were already included in the

Commit 2473238eac95 ("ihex: add support for CS:IP/EIP records") removes
the "default:" statement in the switch block, making the "return
usage();" line dead code and ihex2fw silently ignoring unknown options.
Restore this statement.

This bug was found by building with HOSTCC=clang and adding
-Wunreachable-code-return to HOSTCFLAGS.

Kconfig never defines CONFIG_* as 'n'.
Now obj-n is only used in firmware/Makefile and it can be
replaced with obj-.  No makefile uses lib-n.

Let's rip off obj-n and lib-n.

Commit 5180d5f4 ("firmware: Simplify directory creation") broke
including firmware specified in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE:

  MK_FW   firmware/amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin.gen.S
/bin/sh: firmware/amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin.gen.S: No such file or directory
...
firmware/Makefile:185: recipe for target
'firmware/amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin.gen.S' failed

It works with O= builds, because the directory is created by
Makefile.build. Create the directory in firmware/Makefile in non-O
builds.
