  Description     : Open source VPU side bootloader for Raspberry Pi

This package contains firmware to boot the various Raspberry Pi boards.

The free firmware is fairly early in its development process, but it
would be useful to have it in Debian to ensure all the build tools
needed are working and to allow those of us that prefer to run into free
software on our units an option to boot our RPis. :)

Not quite sure what the package name should be.  Suggested the
<something>-firmware name to match the
<URL: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/raspi3-firmware > name structure.
