The kernel source tree includes a number of firmware 'blobs'

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.

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

consult a lawyer of your own before distributing such an image.

devres: device resource management
Implement device resource management, in short, devres. A device
driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated
with a release function. On driver detach, release function is
invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed.
devreses are typed by associated release functions. Some devreses are
better represented by single instance of the type while others need
multiple instances sharing the same release function. Both usages are
supported.
devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver
can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization
or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4
ports).
This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following
managed interfaces.
* alloc/free : devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree()
* IO region : devm_request_region(), devm_release_region()
* IRQ : devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq()
* DMA : dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(),
dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(),
dmam_pool_destroy()
* PCI : pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed()
* iomap : devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(),
devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(),
pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap()
