Maybe this is a stupid question, but what is USE=deblob doing these days anyway? I thought that all nonfree firmware had been removed from the kernel tree (with version 4.14) and was provided separately by the sys-kernel/linux-firmware package?Also, if I grep for K_DEBLOB_AVAILABLE in sys-kernel, I see it only in rt-sources but nowhere else.

There are still users that want a full libre(deblob) kernel. There are also distributions built around libre(deblob) kernel. deblob is still removing many modules from the kernel that are non-freeyou can see for exemple is removing things also on most recent kernels https://www.fsfla.org/svn/fsfla/software/linux-libre/releases/tags/5.13-gnu/deblob-5.13
