+/// ## Firmware
+///
+/// The following example shows how to declare a kernel module that needs
+/// to load binary firmware files. You need to specify the file names of
+/// the firmware in the `firmware` field. The information is embedded
+/// in the `modinfo` section of the kernel module. For example, a tool to
+/// build an initramfs uses this information to put the firmware files into
+/// the initramfs image.
