My understanding is that the team that works on wl12xx should be pushing it back to linux-firmware. But like I said this will contain the latest changes. I still don't think it should be separate. If the upstream (TI) stuff isn't being properly tracked (there should be an effort to make this so), just add a .bbappend that fixes things. I use these packages and I don't want to have to track the "flavour of the week" to keep current. > > On Oct 5, 2012, at 2:09 PM, "Enrico" wrote: > >> On Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at 9:01 PM, Gary Thomas wrote: >>> On 2012-10-05 13:24, Franklin S.
