firmware: Add CONFIG_EXTRA_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.

firmware: Add firmware installation to modules_install, add firmware_install For 'make modules_install', install any firmware required by the modules which are being installed. Also add a 'make firmware_install' target which doesn't depend on the configuration, but installs _all_ available in-kernel-tree firmware into $(INSTALL_FW_PATH), which defaults to /lib/firmware. This is intended for distributors to make arch-independent (and config-independent) packages containing firmware. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

firmware: Add CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL option. This will control whether we build firmware into the kernel image for _every_ driver which we convert to request_firmware(), to avoid a proliferation of 'CONFIG_XXX_FIRMWARE' options for each one. Default to 'y' for now, which is the wrong thing to do but people seem to be insisting on it and refusing to even review patches until it's done. And it does preserve the existing behaviour for built-in drivers. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

firmware: convert acenic driver to request_firmware() We store the firmware in its native big-endian form now, so the loop in ace_copy() is modified to use be32_to_cpup() when writing it out. We can forget the BSS,SBSS sections of the firmware, since we were clearing all the device's RAM anyway. And the text,rodata,data sections can all be loaded as a single chunk since they're contiguous (give or take a few dozen bytes in between).

bnx2x: Using the new FW The new FW improves the packets per second rate. It required a lot of change in the FW which implies many changes in the driver to support it. It is now also possible for the driver to use a separate MSI-X vector for Rx and Tx - this also add some to the complicity of this change. All things said - after this patch, practically all performance matrixes show improvement. Though Vladislav Zolotarov is not signed on this patch, he did most of the job and deserves credit for that.

ihex: Add support for long records to ihex2fw.c Some drivers could do with using records like Intel HEX, but with each record being larger than 256 bytes. This has been possible in the binary representation (struct ihex_binrec) in the kernel since the beginning -- at least of the the current version of history. But we haven't been able to represent that in the .HEX files which get converted to .fw files. This adds a '-w' option to ihex2fw to make it interpret the first _two_ bytes of each line as the record length, instead of only one byte. And adds makefile rules for %.H16->%.fw which use that.

Partially revert "V4L/DVB (9533): cx88: Add support for TurboSight TBS8910 DVB-S PCI card" This reverts a hunk of commit 4b29631db33292d416dc395c56122ea865e7635c which seems to have been an accident, and which re-introduced a previously fixed bug.

ihex: add ihex2fw tool for converting HEX files into firmware images Not the straight conversion to binary which objcopy can do for us, but actually representing each record with its original {addr, length}, because some drivers need that information preserved.

ihex: Add support for long records to ihex2fw.c Some drivers could do with using records like Intel HEX, but with each record being larger than 256 bytes. This has been possible in the binary representation (struct ihex_binrec) in the kernel since the beginning -- at least of the the current version of history. But we haven't been able to represent that in the .HEX files which get converted to .fw files. This adds a '-w' option to ihex2fw to make it interpret the first _two_ bytes of each line as the record length, instead of only one byte. And adds makefile rules for %.H16->%.fw which use that.

firmware: Add CONFIG_EXTRA_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.

firmware: Add firmware installation to modules_install, add firmware_install For 'make modules_install', install any firmware required by the modules which are being installed. Also add a 'make firmware_install' target which doesn't depend on the configuration, but installs _all_ available in-kernel-tree firmware into $(INSTALL_FW_PATH), which defaults to /lib/firmware. This is intended for distributors to make arch-independent (and config-independent) packages containing firmware. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

Revert "fix modules_install via NFS" This reverts commit 8b249b6856f16f09b0e5b79ce5f4d435e439b9d6. This 'fix' is not necessary; we just need to undo the damage caused accidentally by Igor/Mauro in 4b29631db33292d416dc395c56122ea865e7635c ("V4L/DVB (9533): cx88: Add support for TurboSight TBS8910 DVB-S PCI card") Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
