Yes, there is qat*.bin files in linux-firmware, is the firmware in the
upstream QAT source, different than the firmware in linux-firmware
repo?

If not, let's just RDEPEND on linux-firmware, I am going to break the
qat blobs out into a linux-firmware-qat package, unless it should be
finer grained down to the 3 different variations (qat_89*, qat_c6* and
qat_c3xxx*.bin), let me know what you think.

If we need to setup a quick meeting, ping me on Skype, I gather your in
Penang, I will be available later today.
