From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org> Author: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Date: Fri May 23 13:58:12 2008 +0100 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). kernel-sync: This patch will need some extra changes at the building system to allow the static link of the firmwares.
