for fw in $(strings -a -n 10 $(find /lib/modules -name '*.ko') | sed
-n 's/^firmware=//p' | sort -u); do

echo ${fw}

I guess you can do something similar with vmlinux.bin if compiling
modules into kernel. Looking into kernel sources is more robust, but
gets annoying fast. Full script I am using is here:

You can encounter superfluous warnings with modules that support
multiple firmware subversions (e.g., iwlwifi).
