The original firmware are stored in files named: aic7xxx_reg.h_shipped aic7xxx_seq.h_shipped They are copied to aic7xxx_seq.h aic7xxx_reg.h during the build. So no problem here.
Snip from original Makefile: CLEAN_FILES := ... drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_seq.h \ drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_reg.h \ drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_gram.c \ drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm_scan.c \ drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aicasm/y.tab.h \ drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicasm \
As you can see the files in question has always been deleted during a make clean.
The only functional change done is the fact that firmware are now deleted by make mrproper, as is true for rest of the kernel.
