Re: [PATCH] libertas: prioritize usb8388_v5.bin firmware on OLPC machines

[Andres Salomon <dilinger@queued.net>]

Note: I've not tested this out yet on an XO-1.  I'll do that after some
feedback regarding the matching linux-firmware pull request.  This
should address dsd's concern about changing the loading order of the
firmware.
