The submodules are my priority. I think it makes sense for all firmware where we have pre-built binaries committed to the qemu repo, even if the source is in the qemu repo too. But maybe it's easier to keep those in qemu. They tend to be small and they are also not problematic license-wise. cheers, Gerd
