- DO NOT ADD FIRMWARE TO THIS DIRECTORY.
- ======================================
-
-This directory is only here to contain firmware images extracted from old
-device drivers which predate the common use of request_firmware().
-
-As we update those drivers to use request_firmware() and keep a clean
-separation between code and firmware, we put the extracted firmware
-here.
-
-This directory is _NOT_ for adding arbitrary new firmware images. The
-place to add those is the separate linux-firmware repository:
-
- git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git
-
-That repository contains all these firmware images which have been
-extracted from older drivers, as well various new firmware images which
-we were never permitted to include in a GPL'd work, but which we _have_
-been permitted to redistribute under separate cover.
-
-To submit firmware to that repository, please send either a git binary
-diff or preferably a git pull request to:
- David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
-
-Your commit should include an update to the WHENCE file clearly
-identifying the licence under which the firmware is available, and
-that it is redistributable. If the licence is long and involved, it's
-permitted to include it in a separate file and refer to it from the
-WHENCE file.
-
-Ideally, your commit should contain a Signed-Off-By: from someone
-authoritative on the licensing of the firmware in question (i.e. from
-within the company that owns the code).
