2008-07-10ihex: add ihex2fw tool for converting HEX files into firmware imagesDavid Woodhouse
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. Fix up 'firmware_install' to be able to build $(hostprogs-y) too. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2008-07-10firmware: Add firmware installation to modules_install, add firmware_installDavid Woodhouse
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>
2008-07-10firmware: Add CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL option.David Woodhouse
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>
2008-07-10firmware: Add CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE optionDavid Woodhouse
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. (Updated and CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR added with lots of help from Johannes Berg). Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
