We need an entry in the DEVELOPERS file for this package.

Also, "cadence" is not descriptive enough as a package name.
freescale-qoriq-cadence-dp-firmware perhaps? It's a bit long, but at
least it's descriptive.

The .hash file is missing.

This should be just the package name.

Indentation is not correct, we also need a link to some upstream web
site that gives details about this firmware.

Just curious: the DisplayPort really needs a firmware that runs on the
main CPU, at EL3 ? This is pretty scary :-/ How does it get loaded ?

This is not needed, there is a single firmware image in the archive,
just hardcode it in the package.

Just the name of the package.

One empty line between the comment header and the first variable.

Also, please specify _INSTALL_TARGET = NO

As per the comment above, this is not needed.

Urgh, this is horrible: you are completely bypassing Buildroot's
download infrastructure. Please use it:

<pkg>_VERSION = lsdk1909
<pkg>_SITE = http://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/sdk/lsdk1909/
<pkg>_SOURCE = firmware-cadence-$(<pkg>_VERSION).bin

define <pkg>_EXTRACT_CMDS
	cd $(@D); \
		sh $(<pkg>_DL_DIR)/$(<pkg>_SOURCE) --auto-accept
endef

> +define CADENCE_INSTALL_IMAGES_CMDS
> +	cp $(@D)/firmware-cadence-lsdk1909/dp/$(DP_BIN) $(BINARIES_DIR)/;

Use:

	$(INSTALL) -D -m 0644 $(@D)/firmware-cadence-lsdk1909/dp/ls1028a-dp-fw.bin $(BINARIES_DIR)/ls1028a-dp-fw.bin

Also, please add the appropriate licensing information, since there is
a COPYING file in the archive.

Thanks!
