Hi, attached is a patch to address an issue I ran into copying explicit firmware files into initramfs with FIRMWARE_FILES = "{file1},{file2},{file3}" in genkernel.conf,

The kernel is looking for some firmware files in subfolders of the /lib/firmware dir, this patch copies the firmware files into their subfolders if needed so the kernel finds them properly on load.
