Message-ID: <51885C8A.28146.10AA3F@msetzerii.gmail.com> (raw)
Looking for method to best support users firmware needs within
the kernel.
Have a disk-image project that users kernel.org kernels, and have
had users that require firmware that is not included in the
kernel.org source. I've been able to find it in linux-firmware.git and
then manually adding it to the kernel.org firmware directory and
then modifying the Makefile.
Had seen something that was suppose to be working on getting
firmware out of the kernel, but that process seems to have been
dormant for some time.
