4528e42900 Partially revert "V4L/DVB (9533): cx88: Add support for TurboSight TBS8910 DVB-S PCI card"
This reverts a hunk of commit 4b29631db3
which seems to have been an accident, and which re-introduced a
previously fixed bug.

57579f7629 bnx2: Use request_firmware()
Based on original patch by Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> and
Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org>, with the following main changes:

Separated the mips firmware and rv2p firmware into different files
to make it easier to update them separately.

Added some code to fixup the rv2p code with run-time information
such as PAGE_SIZE.

Update version to 2.0.0.

Adds the firmware to the firmware directory in ihex format so it can be

Also update the firmware location in the driver code so it can locate

8b249b6856 fix modules_install via NFS
Rafael reported:

I get the following error from 'make modules_install' on my test boxes:

  HOSTCC  firmware/ihex2fw
/home/rafael/src/linux-2.6/firmware/ihex2fw.c:268: fatal error: opening dependency file firmware/.ihex2fw.d: Read-only file system
compilation terminated.
make[3]: *** [firmware/ihex2fw] Error 1
make[2]: *** [_modinst_post] Error 2
make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

where the configuration is that the kernel is compiled on a build box
with 'make O=<destdir> -j5' and then <destdir> is mounted over NFS read-only by
each test box (full path to this directory is the same on the build box and on
the test boxes).  Then, I cd into <destdir>, run 'make modules_install' and get
the error above.

The issue turns out to be that we when we install firmware pick
up the list of firmware blobs from firmware/Makefile.
And this triggers the Makefile rules to update ihex2fw.

There were two solutions for this issue:
1) Move the list of firmware blobs to a separate file
2) Avoid ihex2fw rebuild by moving it to scripts

As I seriously beleive that the list of firmware blobs should be
done in a fundamental different way solution 2) was selected.

842ffabbf3 make firmware/dsp56k/bootstrap.asm buildable on a56
Make firmware/dsp56k/bootstrap.asm buildable on a56, the free Motorola
DSP56001 assembler (http://www.zdomain.com/a56.html).

Summary of changes:

  - Remove '<' and '>' candy (they specify explicit addressing modes,
    which a56 don't grok, but uses implicitly anyway).

  - Replace 'move' with 'movem' when accessing program memory.

  - Rename a few labels to avoid duplicates (which a56 can't handle).

949b42544a firmware: convert acenic driver to request_firmware()
We store the firmware in its native big-endian form now, so the loop in
ace_copy() is modified to use be32_to_cpup() when writing it out.

We can forget the BSS,SBSS sections of the firmware, since we were
clearing all the device's RAM anyway. And the text,rodata,data sections
can all be loaded as a single chunk since they're contiguous (give or
take a few dozen bytes in between).

59890f74e5 ihex: Add support for long records to ihex2fw.c
Some drivers could do with using records like Intel HEX, but with each
record being larger than 256 bytes. This has been possible in the binary
representation (struct ihex_binrec) in the kernel since the beginning --
at least of the the current version of history. But we haven't been able
to represent that in the .HEX files which get converted to .fw files.

This adds a '-w' option to ihex2fw to make it interpret the first _two_
bytes of each line as the record length, instead of only one byte. And
adds makefile rules for %.H16->%.fw which use that.

8bd6b2229b ihex: add ihex2fw tool for converting HEX files into firmware images
Not the straight conversion to binary which objcopy can do for us, but
actually representing each record with its original {addr, length},
because some drivers need that information preserved.

Fix up 'firmware_install' to be able to build $(hostprogs-y) too.

88ecf814c4 firmware: Add firmware installation to modules_install, add firmware_install
For 'make modules_install', install any firmware required by
the modules which are being installed.

Also add a 'make firmware_install' target which doesn't depend on the
configuration, but installs _all_ available in-kernel-tree firmware into
$(INSTALL_FW_PATH), which defaults to /lib/firmware. This is intended
for distributors to make arch-independent (and config-independent)
packages containing firmware.

d172e7f5c6 firmware: Add CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL option.
This will control whether we build firmware into the kernel image for
_every_ driver which we convert to request_firmware(), to avoid a
proliferation of 'CONFIG_XXX_FIRMWARE' options for each one.

Default to 'y' for now, which is the wrong thing to do but people seem
to be insisting on it and refusing to even review patches until it's
done. And it does preserve the existing behaviour for built-in drivers.

4d2acfbfdf firmware: Add CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE option
This allows arbitrary firmware files to be included in the static kernel
where the firmware loader can find them without requiring userspace to
be alive.

(Updated and CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR added with lots of help from
Johannes Berg).
