Issue #3042 has been updated by sucan...@fit.cvut.cz.

Status changed from New to Closed

Well, this doesn't seem to work as intended when firmware is to be embedded in 
a module. In order for it to work, kmod.mk would need to be patched too. 
Modifying the isp driver code so it is more endianness aware will be the 
simplest solution after all, because it is probably the only driver with this 
issue.

Submit #3042: firmware: endianness support for fw_stub.awk

Hello,

this patch adds an optional parameter to a firmware specification
tuple for the fw_stub.awk script. The argument is a path to the
big-endian version of the firmware. If it is provided by the user, the
first path in the tuple is treated as little-endian, and two calls of
firmware_register() are generated by the script. The calls are
compiled conditionally according to endianness of target machine.

This is needed for the isp driver firmware to be moved from uit16_t C
arrays in header files to .uu files in sys/contrib/dev/isp.

Example of generated C source code:

#if BYTE_ORDER == BIG_ENDIAN
    fp = firmware_register("name", _binary_BigEndianFW_start , 
(size_t)(_binary_BigEndianFW_end - _binary_BigEndianFW_start), 1234, NULL);
#else
    fp = firmware_register("name", _binary_firmware_start , 
(size_t)(_binary_firmware_end - _binary_firmware_start), 1234, NULL);
#endif
