according to the kernel doc http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/firmware_class/README
Linux kernel will search firmware from "/lib/firmware/updates/" UTS_RELEASE, "/lib/firmware/updates", "/lib/firmware/" UTS_RELEASE, "/lib/firmware"
But the add module function in initramfs-tools won't search the "/lib/firmware/updates".
This problem applies to all Ubuntu releases.
Attach patch to fix this.
