I don't have a tree, and firmware goes Greg's driver core tree so
actually its up to Greg and Ingo on how this gets merged. But it seems
you just have one issue to fix:

[PATCH v10 05/10] test_firmware: add support for firmware_request_platform

There is a few set of empty lines added and I had one comment on the
release of the firmware.

Other than this, I agree this seems ready to be merged.
