Subject: Re: [PATCHv4 27/28] firmware: Add CONFIG_BUILTIN_FIRMWARE option
More feedback... Andrew wanted the help text to be a little more...
well, helpful. And Johannes wanted to add a CONFIG_BUILTIN_FIRMWARE_DIR
option, which lets you just point it at /lib/firmware or somewhere else
outside the kernel tree. And we fixed up a bunch of other details, like
the dependencies on directories, and the fact that the .S file doesn't
actually need to change when the binary blob does.
I even made the Makefile fit in 80 characters. It's going to make your
brain hurt either way -- but that's normal for kernel Makefiles.

firmware: Add CONFIG_BUILTIN_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_BUILTIN_FIRMWARE_DIR added with lots of help from
Johannes Berg).

+config BUILTIN_FIRMWARE

+ 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 BUILTIN_FIRMWARE_DIR option, which is
+ by default the firmware/ subdirectory of the kernel source tree.
+
+ So, for example, you might set CONFIG_BUILTIN_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.

+ the /lib/firmware/ directory or another separate directory
+ containing firmware files.
