Sorry, I am not familiar with how to upstream firmware.
Do you mean we need to upstream vpu firmware first before merge encoder
driver upstream?

In
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/README, it mentions that 
"To submit firmware to this repository, please send either a git binary
diff or preferably a git pull request to: linux-firmware@kernel.org and
also cc: to related mailing lists."

How we made a git pull request to linux-firmware@kernel.org? 
How we find out related mailing lists?

best regards,
Tiffany
