Subject: Fore 200 firmware
Date: Mon, 31 May 2010 11:06:31 +0300 (EEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.SOC.1.00.1005311058180.2805@math.ut.ee> (raw)

Hello,

commit 9c54004ea717116a10886e254e26502ffb1136e9 (atm: [fore200e] 
convert to use request_firmware()) made the fore driver user 
request_firmware() but also removed the building of firmware image.

So the current state is that drivers/atm contains the C dump of fore 200 
firmware in drivers/atm/fore200e_pca_fw.c but this firmware is not built 
and not installed by make install. It's also not present in 
linux-firware tree/packages so the fore driver can not load its firmware 
from anywhere. I guess this is not the intended outcome.

Should we move the firmware to linux-firmware repository and remove 
drivers/atm/fore200e_pca_fw.c or should we convert and install the 
firmware in kernel build system?
