Subject: [PATCH v2] brcmfmac: expose firmware config files through modinfo

From: Matthias Brugger <[email protected]>

Apart from a firmware binary the chip needs a config file used by the
FW. Add the config files to modinfo so that they can be read by
userspace.

Signed-off-by: Matthias Brugger <[email protected]>

---

Changes in v2:
In comparison to first version [0] we use wildcards to enumerate the
firmware configuration files. Wildcard support was added to dracut
recently [1].

This doesn't cover all hardware models. Note that the upstream
linux-firmware has files only for a few hardware models.

I suppose that the correct mask should be "brcm/brcmfmac*-sdio.*.txt".

We can use the two "brcm/brcmfmac*-sdio.*.txt" and "brcm/brcmfmac*-pcie.*.txt"
to also include firmware files for chips that don't have any config file in
linux-firmware. I'm indifferent to that, although I think we should make
incentivize to upstream firmware config files to linux-firmware.

Yes, lets just go with those 2 wildcard matches, that should catch all the files the driver needs without needing to add a lot of extra MODULE_FIRMWARE() entries to the module's firmware.

> I'm indifferent to that, although I think we should make incentivize to upstream firmware config files to linux-firmware.

I completely agree with you. Actually, if you take a look you will see that most of these were submitted to linux-firmware by me :)

But this is really orthogonal to which MODULE_FIRMWARE() entries we should add.

Hans
