This overlaps with a submission I made the other day (of usb8388 firmware), sorry for the lack of coordination there. I don't think the OLPC hardware has any quirks or special features that mean it requires special firmware. However, for the usb8388 we do use a special firmware developed by Cozybit (not Marvell), the one you submitted, which has its own versioning scheme. The main difference is that it includes mesh support. I am pretty sure it would run on any usb8388 but OLPC is the only user of the hardware anyway. See http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/libertas-dev/2010-November/003330.html and the rest of the discussion. As for sd8686, I thought our firmware was standard, from Marvell, and simply a newer version of what is in linux-firmware. Do you have reason to believe otherwise?
