SubjectQuestion on adding a firmware ihex file in the kernel source
All,

Please help me understand the procedure to add a firmware ihex file to
kernel source tree under firmware/ folder. The README.AddingFirmware
file explains that file should be added to
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git and
the patch for the same to be send to linux-firmware@kernel.org. And this
requires it to be in binary form. How does then that end up in the
firmware/ folder of the Linux source tree as an ihex file? I would like
to have one of the firmware statically built into the kernel as it is
needed to be loaded even before file system is initialized in kernel
(network driver firmware). Some other firmwares are to be used from the
filesystem. Both would make use of the request_firmare() interface.
Please help me understand the procedure.

Thanks
