New pull request?

Hello,
I am Loïc BOISSY. I work for Digigram company in France.
Digigram is an audio card manufacturer for professional customers.

Our old cards used specific firmware files.
These files were provided by the alsa-firmware package.
But it seems that this package is now deprecated and replaced by
linux-firmware package.
Do you confirm that?

If yes, How can we push our firmwares files? Just by sending them to you?

Regards,
Loïc

Generally speaking, new firmware that is used by drivers in the Linux
kernel would be added to the linux-firmware project under a license
that permits redistribution.

The alsa-firmware package still exists for some old cards and that
firmware hasn't been migrated to the linux-firmware repo.

If they are net new firmware files, you can follow the README file for
the project to send new submissions:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/README

A pull request from a GitHub or Gitlab style git forge is also acceptable.
