Agreed. All I've wanted to say is that having the _option_ to continue to compile it into the module can simplify certain use cases, including my current use of the kernel's own deb-pkg target for private builds of the kernel for testing purposes.
One thing I would dearly like to see is the ability to choose a different location for firmware for my own custom built kernels than the location used for firmware from official Debian kernel packages so that at least those two don't clash. Doesn't look like that is possible with current git head.
