Some vendors save a couple of cents by not including an eeprom for
wifi parameters on their boards. Instead the driver loads these board
specific parameters through the request_firmware mechanism.
Since these are board specific the filenames also must be board specific,
on x86 DMI strings are used for this and the wifi chipname is postfixed
with $sys_vendor-$product_name from the DMI tables. These DMi variables
may contain spaces.
This commit adds support to check_whence.py for filenames with spaces
in them, after this commit these can be specified by putting double-quotes
around them, e.g "name with spaces.bin".

The script compares the files listed in WHENCE (or otherwise expected)
and the files known to git, and reports all differences as errors.
Add a 'check' rule to the Makefile that runs this.
