Oops - put text in wrong part of patch documentation. I can move this up
to the 'commit log' part.
The driver is under 'staging' - maintained by Greg Koah-Hartman
The firmware blob in 'srec' format for prism 2/3 usb adaptors.
The driver will read the srec file using a standard request_firmware()
call, and will convert it into the appropriate binary format and upload to
the adaptor. Note the processing is left to the driver (rather than
pre-compiling) because the driver needs to insert runtime data obtained from
the adaptor into the blob. The appropriate insertion locations are conveyed
by the srec format.
