Subject: Re: [PATCH] mediatek: move MT8173 VPU FW to subfolder

Dear Alex,

Do you mean to create two symbolic link?

lrwxrwxrwx  1 gtk_ruiwang gtk_ruiwang      25 Feb 26 11:52 vpu_d.bin ->
mediatek/mt8173/vpu_d.bin
lrwxrwxrwx  1 gtk_ruiwang gtk_ruiwang      25 Feb 26 11:52 vpu_p.bin ->
mediatek/mt8173/vpu_p.bin

we create them at the linux-firmware root folder.

Thanks
Best Regards
