Nell Hardcastle, as per
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-
firmware.git/commit/?id=d19609d9c806e329c1e1e8e38f2ef6e5a90febc9 the
firmware is already added for your device.

Hence, if you are interested in expediting the software being released,
you would want to test it with both the latest firmware, and the latest
mainline kernel (4.4-rc4), and provide feedback to the upstream
developers working on this ->
