Closed source package '''bt-firmware'''

As name suggest, this is bluetooth firmware. (BCM2048 is the name of the Bluetooth chip from Broadcom.)

Default installed version:
bt-firmware: Installed: 0.21-rc3+0m5

Provides files:
/lib/firmware/bcmfw.bin

No package depends on it.

If removed (not suggested)
*Not critical: device will still start
*Can't turn bluetooth ON (as expected).
*'About'-box will not show bluetooth address (cat /sys/devices/platform/hci_h4p/bdaddr is still showing it).
(*FM-radio transmitting works. Radio is on the same chip, but it isn't using this firmware-file)
