      The following patch deprecates use of the FIRMWARE_DIR variable:

      commit 1d946d903c93cd022611eff180c52e2df5855a14
Author: Daniel Robbins <drobbins@funtoo.org>

    firmware improvements:
    
    --firmware-dst defines where firmware is installed *to* - this is
    useful when using genkernel within ebuilds and you want to write
    firmware to somewhere in $WORKDIR. Defaults to /lib/firmware.
    
    --firmware-src replaces --firmware-dir (still supported) and defaults
    to --firmware-dst.

      However, in gen_initramfs.sh, we can see that no firmware files will be appended to the image if FIRMWARE_DIR is not set, irregardless of wether FIRMWARE_SRC is defined or not.

              if isTrue "${FIRMWARE}" && [ -n "${FIRMWARE_DIR}" ]
        then
                append_data 'firmware'
        fi

      Fix attached.
