Hmm, I got this error even with CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y.

Through a quick look at the code, the firmwares are not built indeed.
I guess the fix like the following needed for building firmwares for
modules.  Now trying to build the kernel again to check this...

For modules, you just need run
	'make INSTALL_FW_PATH=/lib/firmare firmware_install'.

I should...

1. Change the default to /lib/firmware so that you don't have to set
   INSTALL_FW_PATH.
2. Add that to the 'make help' text.
3. Look at making 'make modules_install' installl the firmware required
   by the modules it's installing, so you don't even need to do
   _anything_ new.
