[PATCH] Documentation: firmware: Clarify firmware path usage

[Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com>]

Newline characters will be taken into account for the firmware search
path parameter, warn users about that and provide an example using 'echo
-n' such that it clarifies the typical use of that parameter.
