Commit 553671b768 ("firmware_loader: Fix labels with comma for builtin
firmware") added this line, which was unneeded.
The macro 'comma' is defined in scripts/Kbuild.include.

Intel Software Developer's Manual, volume 3, chapter 9.11.6 says:
"Note that the microcode update must be aligned on a 16-byte boundary
and the size of the microcode update must be 1-KByte granular"
When early-load Intel microcode is loaded from initramfs, userspace tool
'iucode_tool' has already 16-byte aligned those microcode bits in that
initramfs image. Image that was created something like this:
iucode_tool --write-earlyfw=FOO.cpio microcode-files...
However, when early-load Intel microcode is loaded from built-in
firmware BLOB using CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE= kernel config option, that
16-byte alignment is not guaranteed.
Fix this by forcing all built-in firmware BLOBs to 16-byte alignment.
[ If we end up having other firmware with much bigger alignment
requirements, we might need to introduce some method for the firmware
to specify it, this is the minimal "just increase the alignment a bit
to account for this one special case" patch - Linus ]

Some firmware images contain a comma, such as:
EXTRA_FIRMWARE "brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,gt-s7710.txt"
as Broadcom firmware simply tags the device tree compatible
string at the end of the firmware parameter file. And the
compatible string contains a comma.
This doesn't play well with gas:

We need to get rid of the comma from the labels used by the
assembly stub generator.
Replacing a comma using GNU Make subst requires a helper
variable.

There were two files in the firmware_loader code that did not have SPDX
identifiers on them, so fix that up.

Currently, the 'firmware' directory only contains a single Makefile
to embed extra firmware into the kernel.
Move it to the more relevant place.
