 IIRC, Broadcom firmware images for access points are usually adapted to the
access point itself (with stuff like antenna positions, gain levels, etc). So it
might not be possible to include it in linux-firmware. And anyway,
linux-firmware already has an image for e.g. brcmfmac4330-sdio.bin, which I
guess is different from yours...

 Another option is to create a github repo for your firmware binaries and add a
package for it. Obviously, Broadcom's license will need to allow you to do that.

 Arnout
