help
- The kernel source tree includes a number of firmware 'blobs'
- that are used by various drivers. The recommended way to
- use these is to run "make firmware_install", which, after
- converting ihex files to binary, copies all of the needed
- binary files in firmware/ to /lib/firmware/ on your system so
- that they can be loaded by userspace helpers on request.
-
- Enabling this option will build each required firmware blob
- into the kernel directly, where request_firmware() will find
- them without having to call out to userspace. This may be
- useful if your root file system requires a device that uses
- such firmware and do not wish to use an initrd.
-
- This single option controls the inclusion of firmware for
- every driver that uses request_firmware() and ships its
- firmware in the kernel source tree, which avoids a
- proliferation of 'Include firmware for xxx device' options.
-
- Say 'N' and let firmware be loaded from userspace.

-config EXTRA_FIRMWARE
- string "External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary"
- depends on FW_LOADER
- help
- This option allows firmware to be built into the kernel for the case
- where the user either cannot or doesn't want to provide it from
- userspace at runtime (for example, when the firmware in question is
- required for accessing the boot device, and the user doesn't want to
- use an initrd).
-
- This option is a string and takes the (space-separated) names of the
- firmware files -- the same names that appear in MODULE_FIRMWARE()
- and request_firmware() in the source. These files should exist under
- the directory specified by the EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR option, which is
- by default the firmware subdirectory of the kernel source tree.
-
- For example, you might set CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="usb8388.bin", copy
- the usb8388.bin file into the firmware directory, and build the kernel.
- Then any request_firmware("usb8388.bin") will be satisfied internally
- without needing to call out to userspace.
-
- WARNING: If you include additional firmware files into your binary
- kernel image that are not available under the terms of the GPL,
- then it may be a violation of the GPL to distribute the resulting
- image since it combines both GPL and non-GPL work. You should
- consult a lawyer of your own before distributing such an image.

- some other directory containing the firmware files.

- been deprecated upstream.
