I don't know why, and just wonder if maintainers might encounter the same
problem I met. I tried to add your attachment firmware to the patch locally
and generate and compare local patch with your E-mail file -- no obvious 
difference, only the order of WHENCE and README. Then I tried to change
the order of your E-mail file, and finally it works in my side. 

If you want me to assist sending a pull-request to prevent back and forth
just because of above problem, please let me know.

By the way, my mail server noticed me failed to deliver to
"linux-firmware@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Instead, README.md says firmware should be sent to 
"linux-firmware@xxxxxxxxxx"

I have confirmed attached firmware is the same as released one, and also
the same as the one you sent.
