We have two options here:
1) Change the driver to request s5p-mfc/sp5-mfc-fw*
2) Move the files in the firmware repository

I would opt for the second option. The driver was uploaded before the
firmware. I see that there are many firmware files in the root folder
of the repository

Ben, what is your opinion? Which is preferred: creating subdirectories
or storing firmware in the root folder?

Best wishes,
