Fix some issues on out-of-tree firmware building

2009-04-14T11:46:22+00:00

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab 

Fixes:
- linux/firmware/Makefile is not used. Let's just remove it to avoid keep tracking on
  upstream changes on this file;
- make would need to run twice, due to a missing Makefile dependency;
- make -C v4l/firmware distclean were not removing everything.

Complete firmware compilation scripts

2008-07-20T03:37:25+00:00

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab 

This patch completes firmware compilation scripts:

- linux/firmware/Makefile is just a copy of kernel script make file. It is not
  currently used by the building system;

- Added two new targets for firmware compilation and instalation;

- Fixes the COPYING file to explicitly state that the firmwares aren't covered
  by GPL;

- make distclean will also cleanup the firmwares.

Prepare to allow firmware out-of-tree firmware compilation

2008-07-18T04:14:44+00:00

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab 

This patch synchronizes the firmware hex files from Kernel and starts to
prepare to allow firmware compilation at the out-of-tree driver. Yet, some work
need to be done to make it work.

    firmware: Add CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE option

    This allows arbitrary firmware files to be included in the static kernel
    where the firmware loader can find them without requiring userspace to
    be alive.

    (Updated and CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR added with lots of help from
    Johannes Berg).

This patch will need some extra changes at the building system to allow the
static link of the firmwares.
