I hadn't, but now I have, and if firmware upgrades are considered 'adding new firmware', I agree this patch is wrong, and should have just removed the obsolete bnx2-mips-09-6.2.1a file that is no longer used by the bnx2 driver. However, not having dealt with cards that need these kinds of horrible binary blobs before, I'm a little uncertain how I should be building upstream kernels with CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL and pulling in the correct blobs from a linux-firmware checkout. Is there a more automatic method than going through the source for each configured driver and setting CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE manually to list the relevant firmwares? Is there any way to give the kernel the location of linux-firmware and have it compile in everything needed for the selected drivers, as used to happen with the firmware/ subdirectory? CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR doesn't seem to do anything with CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE empty, so I don't think it does what I'm hoping?
