As far as I am aware, so far all efforts to get these firmware binaries
relicensed in a way that makes them redistributable in linux-firmware
have not succeeded.
They are distributed by NXP directly in the firmware-imx package.
The http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-fsl-arm/ repository
contains links to the latest version:
wget http://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO/firmware-imx-5.4.bin
dd if=firmware-imx-5.4.bin bs=34087 skip=1 | tar xj
cat firmware-imx-5.4/COPYING
regards
Philipp
