IIUC, MODULE_FIRMWARE is only necessary for devices that need firmware
to operate. vxge hardware has an image in flash on the nic, and the
modified code is used to update the firmware image on the adapter.
So, this change isn't doing what you want it to do.
Also, wasn't this already discussed (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/12/401)?
Thanks,
Jon
Hmm, I'd forgotten about that discussion, but its no more correct now
then it was then. MODULE_FIRMWARE is purely informational and has _no_
runtime impact. It is merely an indicator that a firmware file _might_
be used by the kernel and should therefore be left in the external
firmware package. MODULE_FIRMWARE() uses the same base MODULE_INFO macro
as MODULE_VERSION, MODULE_AUTHOR, MODULE_LICENSE, etc.
