Different version of firmware is > released for every SDK release (3-4 times a year) Clearly, mainline works differently. Ideally you do want to get the firmware in linux-firmware.git. The kernel and firmware are then more likely to by upgraded at the same time. However, you should not assume so. Maybe in mainline you can then support the last 4 firmware versions, and issue an error if a version older than that is found. However, until the firmware is easily available via linux-firmware, you probably should be backwards compatible for a longer period. Andrew
