Lachlan,
I have some recipe changes inline below.

PR is not the firmware version, it’s the recipe version. Start with "r0". After making this change do a "bitbake -c cleanall zd1211-firmware" to remove the old packages as you would be going backwards for the package.

FILES doesn't specify where to find the files on the build machine, it specifies where the installed files exist on the target filesystem. This is what the error you are seeing is telling you; the files were installed in the do_install step but they did not get placed in the final package. In your case I believe:
FILES_${PN} += "${libdir}/zd1211_*"
would work.

As mentioned in the FILES variable description in the Yocto manual, you should use the standard path variables whenever possible. The list of available path variables are near the top of meta/conf/bitbake.conf. That means in your case the following would be better:
do_install() {
install -d ${D}/${libdir}/firmware/zd1211
install -m 0555 ${WORKDIR}/zd1211_* ${D}/${libdir}/firmware/zd1211/
Regards,
Bryan
