Hi David,

I recently disabled CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL in the default openSUSE
kernels (as no built-in driver needs firmware and the initrd takes care
of the modules), but this disabled all the CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_*
options, because there is

config USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_MPR
        bool "USB Keyspan MPR Firmware"
        depends on USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN && FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL
etc

in drivers/usb/serial/Kconfig, added in 2971c57 by you. Is there a
reason for this dependency or shouldn't this rather depend on FW_LOADER?
On a related note, firmware/Makefile has

ifdef CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL
fw-shipped-$(CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_MPR) += keyspan/mpr.fw
...
else
fw-shipped- += keyspan/mpr.fw ...
endif

which just duplicates the dependency (if CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL is
not set, the CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_KEYSPAN_* options won't be set either).
Note that I do not have the hardware, so maybe I'm missing something
obvious...

thanks,
Michal
