Some questions... - Which firmware blobs that are *already* in the kernel would need this? Remember, we're not adding new crap to the kernel source tree; new firmware images get added to linux-firmware.git instead. - Why make the include_jump code optional? When would we ever *not* want to include such a record -- when does the input ihex file contain such a record that the kernel driver *must* not see because it can't cope with it? -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre David.Woodhouse@...el.com Intel Corporation -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
