I'm not sure I agree here. For other devices, we have a separate option for each device. In addition, when you have a given WiFi device in a system, you most likely only have this one, so the need for installing one specific firmware is kind of the normal situationo. > - rename the option to BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_FIRMWARE_MEDIATEK_WIFI_MT7xxx; > note that I added 'WIfI' in the option name, because we can forsee > we'll have the same issue with BT firmwares, as they too are named > mt7*; If you have a WiFi/BT combo chip, it's pretty likely that you will want to install both the WiFi and BT firmwares, so having a single option for both doesn't look that crazy.
