I fixed up the title to be:

	linux-firmware: add Qualcomm video accelerator and GPU firmware options

but then I tested it, and your patch triggers an issue in our fix-rpath
script: the patchelf program doesn't like the ELF files that act as
firmware files for the Qualcomm VPU:

/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/support/scripts/fix-rpath target

So, I've submitted a patch that adjusts our fix-rpath script to
ignore /lib/firmware: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/897624/

I'll wait a bit to see if anyone has some comments about this patch
(and potentially give some Acked-by), as I need to apply such a fix
before applying your patch.

I'm surprised that you haven't see the issue, though.

Best regards,

Thomas
