You think requiring a FIRMWARE UPGRADE is something that should be done
in the middle of a kernel bugfix series? What Q/A planet are you from?
This is a completely ridiculous burden you are placing on the individual
user. A good driver knows that firmware NOT SHIPPED WITH THE KERNEL
does not necessarily move in lock-step with the kernel driver. You are
welcome to GPL your firmware and ship it of course....
