Unfortunately however, his efforts were ultimately rejected by the internal management. We were directed to try to reach out to NXP via the customer support page which yielded nothing. The current situation is thus the same as a few months ago, summarized in my quote above. Brian, what are the options here now? Would it be possible to make an exception and accept the patches without the firmware being in linux-firmware? This is an old device with no mainstream audience so I expect everyone who will want to use it will be able to supply the firmware themselves and it would be great to not have to keep the patches in a fork, especially when trying to build on top of them further (such as to fix the driver-firmware incompatibilities discussed in one of the patches of this series). Francesco, would you perhaps still be able to help in any way? Thank you, kind regards, K. B.
