Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] rt{2860,2870}sta: Use request_firmware() to load firmware

I demand that Ben Hutchings may or may not have written...

> When originally introduced into staging, these drivers had custom
> firmware-loading code which checked a version number and CRC at the end of
> each blob.  This reintroduces those checks, using crc-ccitt instead of
> custom code.

> The removed firmware will be added to the linux-firmware.git repository.

> Based on work by Darren Salt <linux@...mustbejoking.demon.co.uk>.
