firmware: Update information in linux.git about adding firmware
Kyle McMartin joined the linux-firmware maintainers, and we now have an alias <linux-firmware@kernel.org> which reaches all of us. Include that instead of the individual addresses. Add some further recommendations that were already included in the README in linux-firmware.git added by Xose Vazquez Perez <xose.vazquez@gmail.com>. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
