I would prefer to see the firmware images publically available before the driver gets applied. What if you send the firmware patches as RFC only to linux-wireless? That way linux-firmware.git maintainers won't apply them, hopefully. And mention in the commit log that this is just for testing purposes, not to be applied. -- Kalle Valo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
