The current version can be found here:
https://salsa.debian.org/manut/firmware-imx/

I also need it for adding imx8mm support to u-boot. On which target are you working?

>Do you plan to upload this to non-free-firmware?

Yes, but did not so far.
Currently the .bin is part of the debian git. Did not find a way to write a valid watch file for a webpage that denies indexing.

Any help on the package is welcome - even uploading it, since I am no DD.

Thanks
