Related to that: I noticed that the meta-ti kernel adds a firmware blob 
am335x-pm-firmware.elf.  This causes QA errors when building that kernel 
with linux-yocto because the .elf file is stripped and the unstripped 
debug version isn't packaged.

The existing linux-firmware repository doesn't include any elf format 
files.  Perhaps the TI module could be updated to load the .bin version 
of the file instead.
