The linux-firmware tree should include them all, hopefully. We don't intentionally *remove* old stuff, since that would break old kernels. Eventually we'll want a way for people to filter out firmware which is only used by old kernels, when they install or package linux-firmware. But for now you just get everything. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre david.woodho...@intel.com Intel Corporation
