Subject: Fate of ihex2fw tool

Everyone:

Since commit 5620a0d1aacd554ebebcff373e31107bb1ef7769 ("firmware:
delete in-kernel firmware"):

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?h=v4.19-rc7&id=5620a0d1aacd554ebebcff373e31107bb1ef7769

firmware/ihex2fw.c is gone from the source tree and with it ihex2fw
tool used to generate sruct ihxed_binrec {} filled images (.ihex ->
.fw) consumed by request_ihex_frimware().

I tried looking for that too in
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
but couldn't find it there.

Is there a  new/different source tree it can be found nowadays?
Or is there another established tool that can do .ihex -> .fw
conversion that is expected to be used instead of ihex2bin?

Thanks,
Andrey Smirnov
