            Bug ID: 91917
           Summary: linux-firmware.git should carry most recent firmware
                    for SI, CI et al.
           Product: DRI
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: low
         Component: DRM/Radeon
          Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: kai@dev.carbon-project.org
                CC: alexdeucher@gmail.com

Right now the firmware shipped in
<https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/radeon>
is older, than what is available from
<https://secure.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/>. Please consider
submitting the most recent firmware files to the linux-firmware repository.

For example, the most recent hawaii_ce.bin
(<https://secure.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/hawaii/hawaii_ce.bin>) is
from 2015-06-10, while the linux-firmware repository saw the last update on
2014-08-20 (merge was seven days later). As a MD5 comparison shows, these are
not the same files:
9e05820da42549ce9c89d147cf1f8e19  linux-firmware/hawaii_ce.bin
286640da3d90d7b51bdb038b65addc47  p.fd.o/~agd5f/hawaii_ce.bin

This update would allow me (and others) to drop custom "update" directories
from /lib/firmware as distributions would pick them up. Which in turn would
ease testing of new Kernels and Mesa revisions.
