Hi Jared!
Yes, I saw that. But it's using firmload() as well to load it.
I moved this firmware because it was the only one remaining in that
directory.
I can put it back, if people think that's preferable, or someone else
can revert, I don't mind.
Cheers,
Thomas
P.S.: The file is 44k, so I'm not convinced by the "/ is small"
argument. ;)

Hi Thomas --
The bcm43xx firmware is different from other firmware images because it is
not loaded by the kernel directly. The tool that loads this image lives in
/usr/sbin, so /usr/libdata/firmware seemed more appropriate. The path
already existed in the list of firmware search paths (sysctl
hw.firmware.path) long before these files were added.
Cheers,
Jared
