It's nice information to know from 'modinfo' or other uses so that we
might be able to find the firmware automatically. Right now actually
PackageKit will figure out missing firmware from udev when udev can't
find the right firmware, but having it in 'modinfo' is useful too.
Honestly I think we should actually reorganize the firmware and put it
in /lib/firmware/libertas or something.
