FIRMWARE_INSTALL control option.
Prefer sys-kernel/linux-firmware to be installed and used rather than always running firmware_install and overwriting the root copy. Defaults to FIRMWARE_INSTALL=no, with ebuild updated to RDEPEND on sys-kernel/linux-firmware, via IUSE='+firmware' Signed-off-by: Robin H. Johnson <robbat2@gentoo.org>
