Subject: determine the required firmwares for static drivers from .config
 file

Hi.

Just wondered whether it's possible, or someone has already written a
tool, that allows to determine the required firmware (pathnames) for all
statically compiled drivers from a kernel configuration.

Would be interesting to have this in order to automatically add them to
e.g. initramfs images.

Of course it's pretty easy to do this when one has modules (at least for
those using MODULE_FIRMWARE) ;)

Thanks,
Chris.
