I have created a git repository containing firmware files for use with
the Linux kernel. There is a daily script¹ which extracts the contents
of the firmware/ directory from the kernel itself, which is what has
seeded the repository:

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git
 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=shortlog

We are also able to include other firmware files from vendors who have
chosen not to contribute their firmware to be distributed as part of the
GPL'd kernel source tree, but would still like their firmware to be
readily available to Linux users.

Contributions of such firmware are welcome, and some are already in the
works...
