2 | DO NOT ADD FIRMWARE TO THIS DIRECTORY. |
3 | ====================================== |
4 | |
5 | This directory is only here to contain firmware images extracted from old |
6 | device drivers which predate the common use of request_firmware(). |
7 | |
8 | As we update those drivers to use request_firmware() and keep a clean |
9 | separation between code and firmware, we put the extracted firmware |
10 | here. |
11 | |
12 | This directory is _NOT_ for adding arbitrary new firmware images. The |
13 | place to add those is the separate linux-firmware repository: |
14 | |
15 | git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git |
16 | |
17 | That repository contains all these firmware images which have been |
18 | extracted from older drivers, as well various new firmware images which |
19 | we were never permitted to include in a GPL'd work, but which we _have_ |
20 | been permitted to redistribute under separate cover. |
21 | |
22 | To submit firmware to that repository, please send either a git binary |
23 | diff or preferably a git pull request to: |
24 | David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> |
25 | Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> |
26 | |
27 | Your commit should include an update to the WHENCE file clearly |
28 | identifying the licence under which the firmware is available, and |
29 | that it is redistributable. If the licence is long and involved, it's |
30 | permitted to include it in a separate file and refer to it from the |
31 | WHENCE file. |
32 | |
33 | Ideally, your commit should contain a Signed-Off-By: from someone |
34 | authoritative on the licensing of the firmware in question (i.e. from |
35 | within the company that owns the code). |
