Subject: [PATCHv3 27/28] firmware: Add CONFIG_BUILTIN_FIRMWARE option

Feedback/patches from Johannes Berg -- sort $(firmware_dirs) to prevent
make from complaining about duplicates, and don't unconditionally depend
on include/config/64bit.h. Also fix O= compilation again by including
$(srctree) in the filename passed to .incbin in the .S files.

I also fixed up the dependencies for the object files built from
binaries -- the .S file doesn't need to depend on the binary, but the .o
does.

Still don't have the behaviour we want from clean/mrproper, but I think
we need Sam's help with that.

    firmware: Add CONFIG_BUILTIN_FIRMWARE option
    
    This allows arbitrary firmware files to be included in the static kernel
    where the firmware loader can find them without requiring userspace to
    be alive.
