FWIW, the separation was on purpose. /libdata/firmware should be for things that are needed during early boot only (eg, firmware that runs between mountroot and init, such as GPU firmware), or network drivers one would use to mount /usr over the network. one could argue that this driver matches and there's a dozen or more other drivers here so i'm not asking for a revert (and i hope no one is running /usr over wifi!), but /usr/libdata/firmware could come back in the future.. .mrg.
