Subject: [PATCH 4.17 41/67] kbuild: delete INSTALL_FW_PATH from kbuild documentation

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@...radead.org>

commit 3f9cdee5929b7d035e86302dcf08fbf3e80b0739 upstream.

Removed Kbuild documentation for INSTALL_FW_PATH.

The kbuild symbol INSTALL_FW_PATH was removed from Kbuild tools in
September 2017 (for 4.14) but the symbol was not deleted from
the kbuild documentation, so do that now.

Fixes: 5620a0d1aacd ("firmware: delete in-kernel firmware")
