Dave Airlie 321eaf317d docs: driver-api: firmware: add driver firmware guidelines. (v3)
A recent snafu where Intel ignored upstream feedback on a firmware
change, led to a late rc6 fix being required. In order to avoid this
in the future we should document some expectations around
linux-firmware.

I was originally going to write this for drm, but it seems quite generic
advice.

v2: rewritten with suggestions from Thorsten Leemhuis
v3: rewritten with suggestions from Mauro
