Hello Andrew,

I moved the FW_REPO macro to qed_if.h under include/linux since I didn't
want to bloat something like include/linux/firmware.h. It's really used
(exact URL in a print after request_firmware() fails) at two other places.

If you think it's more useful in include/linux/firmware.h so that other
drivers can make use of it in future, I can move it there.
