The 2nd one simplifies holding module for request_firmware(). The 3rd one introduces one kernel option to allow distributions or users to set their specific firmware search paths. The 4th one don't allow to request firmware via relative path. V1: - 3/4: make code more clean, take the approach suggested by Takashi - 4/4: introduce 4/4 drivers/base/Kconfig | 14 +++++++ drivers/base/firmware_class.c | 91 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- include/linux/firmware.h | 11 ----- 3 files changed, 85 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) Thanks, -- Ming Lei
