That's still essentially an ini file, just using a binary format hidden inside the firmware image. The firmware meta data is for advertising capabilities of the firmware binary so that ath10k choose correct settings to run the binary, not for delivering configuration settings from user space. If we would start providing driver settings from firmware binaries that would just confuse anyone. -- Kalle Valo _______________________________________________ ath10k mailing list ath10k@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath10k
