Aquantia AQR113C is PHY that needs loading a firmware. Some devices may
have it stored on flash and some need filesystem to provide it.

MediaTek holds its own AQR113C firmware file for its boards. Package it.

Hi Rafal, not going into details of this patch, but what is the
license situation with
redistributing the AQR firmware?

Good question. I don't know.

Cc linux-mediatek@
Can we get some licensing help, please?



Initial firmware file
Rhe-05.06-Candidate7-AQR_Mediatek_23B_StartOff_ID45623_VER36657.cld was
added in the commit:

with not licensing details.



Later there was a firmware update update handled by adding file:
Rhe-05.06-Candidate9-AQR_Mediatek_23B_P5_ID45824_LCLVER1.cld in the commit:

commit 405b1e31f924b97d379719fb39f0d28c0fac43a9

I also can't find any readme file specifying licensing of those files.
