Currently only x86, ia64 and blackfin architectures include drivers/firmware/Kconfig, as a result firmware drivers are only available on these platforms. This has not been a problem historically, because all of the firmware drivers were architecture specific. But this has changed with the addition of the SigmaStudio firmware loader (commit e359dc24 "sigma-firmware: loader for Analog Devices' SigmaStudio"), which is used to parse and load firmware files for Analog Devices' SigmaDSP processors. These DSPs are usually embedded in for example audio codecs, which use the I2C or SPI bus for communication and are not architecture specific. Thus make the firmware drivers generally available, so it can be used on all architectures. Note that this moves the Kconfig "Firmware Drivers" entry from the top-level to the "Device Drivers" submenu for architectures which had it already available.
