Subject: [PATCH v7 2/3] firmware: Rename google firmware directory to coreboot
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 09:50:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717085003.369496-3-sean@starlabs.systems> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717085003.369496-1-sean@starlabs.systems>
Most drivers in drivers/firmware/google are coreboot table drivers rather
than Google-specific firmware drivers. Rename the directory to coreboot
and update the Kconfig prompt, build path and maintainer entry.
Keep the existing CONFIG_GOOGLE_* symbols to avoid user configuration
churn in this mechanical move.
