this looks good. thanks for doing it. > Comments: > Switched to a single MK tunable for it - that is probably unneeded. > Might be an issue for not obsoleting directories on non-DRM archs. please put back the separate firmwares -- there are x86-only ones coming so we want to be able to choose them more easily, and it would be nice if i hvae a nvidia-only setup to be able to turn off amd/intel etc, i my special build. thanks. .mrg.

I like the proposal. I was about to suggest (while we are touching it) to split out the other firmware to a separate set, but when I looked it is just 31 MB (and that already includes some firmware that will move to the gpu set) on non-x86, which even with a small SD card as root on some evbarm SoC is not that bad.

It's not particularly special, but only some platforms have DRM drivers and it is about to get fat with the addition of amdgpu firmware.

Re: [PATCH] Move DRM-driver firmware from base to its own set, gpufw
If gpu firmware is somewhat special, is there any sense in moving it to /usr/libdata/firmware/gpu/... ? David
