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>.

22 22 To submit firmware to that repository, please send either a git binary
23 23 diff or preferably a git pull request to:
24   - David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

27 27 Your commit should include an update to the WHENCE file clearly
28 28 identifying the licence under which the firmware is available, and
29 29 that it is redistributable. If the licence is long and involved, it's
30 30 permitted to include it in a separate file and refer to it from the
31 31 WHENCE file.
  32 +And if it were possible, a changelog of the firmware itself.
32 33  
33 34 Ideally, your commit should contain a Signed-Off-By: from someone
34 35 authoritative on the licensing of the firmware in question (i.e. from
35 36 within the company that owns the code).

  42 +Don't send any "CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT" in your e-mail, patch or
