I'm all for making things simpler, and if someone needs to use an external firmware for a Nouveau-supported GPU they can always put it under the nvidia/ firmware directory. So if you agree with it I will remove support for firmwares in nouveau/ in GR. I am not sure whether your statement also applies to other firmwares (falcon, xtensa)? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
