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..
