Jiri, are you allowed to include that microcode, did you get any information about this from the manufacturer which could allow the inclusion? The sequences are rather small not putting it into extra firmware files would make life much easier for some users, on the other side if it raises legal issues Mauro's right with loading it from a file Markus > > > + > > +/* > > + * The configuration of device is composed of 11 steps. > > + * This function is called by the initialization process. > > + * > > + * We don't know the meaning of these steps!
