firmware: silence __fw_modbuild and __fw_modinst 'Nothing to be done' messages

2008-08-02T06:52:29Z

People don't like them and think they're errors. Leave the __fw_install one though; when 'make firmware_install' does nothing, it's best to have a 'Nothing to be done for...' message rather than just doing nothing. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

firmware: create firmware binaries during 'make modules'.

2008-07-25T18:26:30Z

This means that we no longer need write access to the source tree while doing 'make modules_install'. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

Update scripts/Makefile.fwinst to cope with older make

Also fix unwanted rebuilds of the firmware/ihex2fw tool by including the .ihex2fw.cmd file when present. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse Reported-and-tested-by: Wang Chen Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ihex: add ihex2fw tool for converting HEX files into firmware images

2008-07-10T13:47:41Z

Not the straight conversion to binary which objcopy can do for us, but actually representing each record with its original {addr, length}, because some drivers need that information preserved. Fix up 'firmware_install' to be able to build $(hostprogs-y) too. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

firmware: Add firmware installation to modules_install, add firmware_install

2008-07-10T13:47:34Z

For 'make modules_install', install any firmware required by the modules which are being installed. Also add a 'make firmware_install' target which doesn't depend on the configuration, but installs _all_ available in-kernel-tree firmware into $(INSTALL_FW_PATH), which defaults to /lib/firmware. This is intended for distributors to make arch-independent (and config-independent) packages containing firmware. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse
