firmware path / udev

Dave, Frank, ...

I'm looking into the udev/hotplug issue. The convention seems to be for 
the firware now: /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/driver.
I would suggest to move the actual firmware from comedilib to comedi so 
that we get also a version-dependent firmware installation in 
/lib/firmware. The actual udev scripts can stay in comedilib which then 
load the kernel dependent firmware. This makes it easier to have matched 
driver/firmware versions.

The old hotplug scripts and also the corresponding firmware can just 
stay in comedilib.

Is that OK to move the firmware to comedi or do you prefer it in comedilib?
