Unless you know what you are doing, you should answer N.

- bool "Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary"
- depends on FW_LOADER
- default y
- help
- The kernel source tree includes a number of firmware 'blobs'
- which are used by various drivers. The recommended way to
- use these is to run "make firmware_install" and to copy the
- resulting binary files created in usr/lib/firmware directory
- of the kernel tree to the /lib/firmware on your system so
- that they can be loaded by userspace helpers on request.
-
- Enabling this option will build each required firmware blob
- into the kernel directly, where request_firmware() will find
- them without having to call out to userspace. This may be
- useful if your root file system requires a device which uses
- such firmware, and do not wish to use an initrd.
-
- This single option controls the inclusion of firmware for
- every driver which usees request_firmare() and ships its
- firmware in the kernel source tree, to avoid a proliferation
- of 'Include firmware for xxx device' options.
-
- Say 'N' and let firmware be loaded from userspace.

-config EXTRA_FIRMWARE
- string "External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary"
- depends on FW_LOADER
- help
- This option allows firmware to be built into the kernel, for the
- cases where the user either cannot or doesn't want to provide it from
- userspace at runtime (for example, when the firmware in question is
- required for accessing the boot device, and the user doesn't want to
- use an initrd).
- This option is a string, and takes the (space-separated) names of the
- firmware files -- the same names which appear in MODULE_FIRMWARE()
- and request_firmware() in the source. These files should exist under
- the directory specified by the EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR option, which is
- by default the firmware/ subdirectory of the kernel source tree.
-
- So, for example, you might set CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="usb8388.bin",
- copy the usb8388.bin file into the firmware/ directory, and build the
- kernel. Then any request_firmware("usb8388.bin") will be
- satisfied internally without needing to call out to userspace.
-
- WARNING: If you include additional firmware files into your binary
- kernel image which are not available under the terms of the GPL,
- then it may be a violation of the GPL to distribute the resulting
- image -- since it combines both GPL and non-GPL work. You should
- consult a lawyer of your own before distributing such an image.

-config EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR
- string "Firmware blobs root directory"
- depends on EXTRA_FIRMWARE != ""
- default "firmware"
- help
- This option controls the directory in which the kernel build system
- looks for the firmware files listed in the EXTRA_FIRMWARE option.
- The default is the firmware/ directory in the kernel source tree,
- but by changing this option you can point it elsewhere, such as
- the /lib/firmware/ directory or another separate directory
- containing firmware files.
