Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH-NEXT v2 0/4] package/linux-firmware: install into images for early loading support
Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2021 17:05:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210215160558.19574-1-peter@korsgaard.com> (raw)

Some drivers request their firmware very early when built into the
kernel, even before the initramfs is mounted - So the only way to
provide firmware for those drivers is to include them directly in the
kernel with the CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE option.

To support this, let linux-firmware install its files into
BINARIES_DIR in addition to TARGET_DIR, similar to how we do it for
intel-microcode.

Peter Korsgaard (3):
  package/linux-firmware: make install logic macro accept a destination
    parameter
  package/linux-firmware: also install into images for early loading
    support
  linux: build after linux-firmware if enabled for early loading support
