I can't say much about the firmware [1] inclusion or the procedure of
it into linux-firmware [2].
Maybe, Ben can explain the procedure and what has to be considered
before inclusion in linux-firmware.
The original firmware and helper images were extracted from a Netgear
Windows driver [1].

>From what I read in the OpenWrt forum posting [3]: You wanted to care
for inclusion:

"Firmware isn't included in the kernel tree anymore, there's the
linux-firmware git tree for that these days. I will contact some
people at Marvell to ask whether 8361P firmware can be included
there."

Some more concerns...
Dunno, if [4] is really correct and how to use one and same device-id
for 8363 ***and*** 8361P:
...
{ PCI_VDEVICE(MARVELL, 0x2a02), .driver_data =3D MWL8363, },
...
Curious about a statement from hauke...

Adding the device-id in case of 8361P is not enough (see attached patch)

I am looking forward to having support for 8361P soon.

- Sedat -

P.S.: I have re-added Readme and patch as there are new CCs.
