@ -34,6 +34,70 @@ config FW_LOADER
require userspace firmware loading support, but a module built outside
the kernel tree does.
config FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL
bool "Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary"
depends on FW_LOADER
default y
help
The kernel source tree includes a number of firmware 'blobs'
which are used by various drivers. The recommended way to
use these is to run "make firmware_install" and to copy the
resulting binary files created in usr/lib/firmware directory
of the kernel tree to the /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 which uses
such firmware, and do not wish to use an initrd.
This single option controls the inclusion of firmware for
every driver which usees request_firmare() and ships its
firmware in the kernel source tree, to avoid 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
cases 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 which 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.
So, 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 which 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.
config EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR
string "Firmware blobs root directory"
depends on EXTRA_FIRMWARE != ""
default "firmware"
help
This option controls the directory in which the kernel build system
looks for the firmware files listed in the EXTRA_FIRMWARE option.
The default is the firmware/ directory in the kernel source tree,
but by changing this option you can point it elsewhere, such as
the /lib/firmware/ directory or another separate directory
containing firmware files.
config DEBUG_DRIVER
bool "Driver Core verbose debug messages"
depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
