2008-07-20Complete firmware compilation scriptsMauro Carvalho Chehab
From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org> 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.

2008-07-18Prepare to allow firmware out-of-tree firmware compilationMauro Carvalho Chehab
From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org> 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. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>
2008-07-17backport commit 4d2acfbfdf68257e846aaa355edd10fc35ba0febMauro Carvalho Chehab
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.
