Some drivers request their firmware very early when built into the
kernel, even before the initramfs is mounted - So the only way to
provide firmware for those drivers is to include them directly in the
kernel with the CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE option.
To support this, let linux-firmware install its files into
BINARIES_DIR in addition to TARGET_DIR, similar to how we do it for
intel-microcode.

parameter

support
linux: build after linux-firmware if enabled for early loading support
