[PATCH v3] libertas: prioritize usb8388_olpc.bin firmware on OLPC machines

[PATCH v3] libertas: prioritize usb8388_olpc.bin firmware on OLPC machines

[Andres Salomon]

Normally, the v9 firmware will be loaded if it's available.  However, on
OLPC XO-1 machines, the olpc-specific firmware supports extra functionality.
This makes the libertas driver attempt to load the custom firmware first
if the machine is an OLPC machine; if that fails (or it's not an OLPC
machine), fall back to attempting to load the other firmwares.

usb8388_olpc.bin is currently found in the linux-firmware repository.

v3: changed firmware path to include libertas/ subdirectory.

Since the last submission (v2), usb8388_olpc.bin has found its way into
wireless-firmware.  It'd be nice to get this into the next merge window.
