Add additional firmware images to be excluded

Removed additional firmware, largely Wi-Fi and embedded
SoC firmware, from the ramdisk as these devices are unlikely
to be needed in the process of the use of a deployment ramdisk.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 By default the element removes some firmware blobs to reduce the image size.
-Specifically, firmware from ``netronome`` and ``amdgpu`` is removed. If you
-want to override this, change the ``IPA_REMOVE_FIRMWARE`` environment variable
-to a comma-separated list of directories or files under ``/usr/lib/firmware``.
+The list can be found below this paragraph. The majority of these firmware
+images are used by SoCs, WI-FI chips, some GPUs and Smartnics which are
+unlikely to be encountered. If you want to override this, change the
+``IPA_REMOVE_FIRMWARE`` environment variable to a comma-separated list
+of directories or files under ``/usr/lib/firmware``.
 Set it to an empty string to disable firmware removal.
