Are you saying that each kernel driver should be written so that it will
either do direct loading or use firmwared?
>From the previous discussion Linus made it very clear that he expect
this driver to be compiled as a kernel module and Elon to issue a
modprobe once he lands. But IMHO, Elon's decision of using modprobe vs
firmwared should be his to make and not mine as a kernel developer.
