There was me thinking we'd finally got rid of the firmware, and more of
it pops up in drivers/staging.  Another reason to hate that directory.
A quick search finds the following additional firmware files:

drivers/staging/me4000/me4000_firmware.h
drivers/staging/me4000/me4610_firmware.h
drivers/staging/otus/hal/hp*fw*.c
drivers/staging/rt2870/common/firmware.h
drivers/staging/slicoss/gbrcvucode.h
drivers/staging/slicoss/oasisrcvucode.h

Of these, only rt2860 and rt2870 are enabled in Debian.

Ben.
