Nobody handed out the files for sm8550 yet. So we could push only the
audio topology files.

That repo contains existing firmware for older platforms.
The firmware signed with the test keys goes to the SoC directory,
vendor-signed firmware goes to the subdir.

See qcom/sm8250 (RB5), qcom/sdm845 (RB3 aka db845c), qcom/qrb4210
(RB2), qcom/qcm2290 (RB1), qcom/apq8096 (db820c) and qcom/apq8016
(db410c).

For X13s there is a vendor-signed firmware at qcom/sc8280xp/LENOVO/21BX/

Venus / VPU firmware, being chip agnostic, goes to qcom/venus-* and
qcom/vpu-* Vendor-signed venus firmware should go to the same subdir
as all other device-specific files.

Generic Adreno firmware (SQE, GMU, GPMU, etc.) goes to qcom/ directly.
Signed ZAP shaders go to the qcom/SOC or device subdirs.

WiFI firmware goes to ath10k, ath11k or ath12k dirs. But please
coordinate with Kalle Valo, he maintains those subdirs.

BT firmware is piled up in qca subdir.

All mentioned files except the WiFi have migrated to .mbn format.

All licences are documented in the WHENCE file.
