For the reference. I have pushed existing redistributable firmware files 
to https://github.com/lumag/yamato-firmware.git (I can move the repo to 
some other location, e.g. to gitlab.fdo.org/msm if that's a better place).

I've also sent a patch to linux-firmware, so at some point we should be 
able to use a200 with the default setup.
