Actually, I was thinking that having a single source.tar would be easier
to handle and it would cause less clutter (Yeah, I've seen people do cp -r
linux-firmware.git/* into /lib/firmware/. And in this case - I think - a
source.tar.xyz is less of an eyesore...). Also a single source.tar can be
easily signed and verified. But of course, it's your tree and therefore
it's your call.

[Note: Unless there is a bug that needs to be fixed ASAP, I'll wait for
gcc 4.8 to be ready before I make carl9170fw 1.9.8. So, there is plenty
of time to decide what to do.]
