Hi Arend,

we are using firmwares that come with our specific Sony devices, as we 
couldn't find any generic one.
Pushing firmwares around is something that we tend to be careful about 
because, as you know, they are usually covered with proprietary licenses 
and such.

If anyone from Broadcom can help us by pushing "generic" firmwares for 
this chip on linux-firmware, we would largely appreciate that.

Yours,
- Angelo
