Subject: [PATCH] ARM: imx_v6_v7_defconfig: Add CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK
Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2017 16:04:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170817140424.4614-1-gary.bisson@boundarydevices.com> (raw)
Allows to load firmware files which aren't built inside the kernel.
Especially useful for CODA firmware (vpu_fw_imx6q.bin) which is usually
located in the rootfs.
Signed-off-by: Gary Bisson <gary.bisson@boundarydevices.com>

Hi Shawn,
I'm not sure if this patch is acceptable since I've noticed that no
configuration currently has that option enabled (why?).
As mentioned in the commit, I had to enable that in order to have CODA
load the VPU firmware properly.
Another option would be to make the CODA driver a module...
Let me know your thoughts.
Regards,
Gary
