Shenghao sent the two files to linux-firmware@xxxxxxxxxx a few days ago, but I think the "Allegedly GPLv2+ ... Found in hex form in kernel source." Licence needs to be fixed before acceptance. But even if it is not included in the linux-firmware package, it is easier for users to put two files in place per OS installation than patching the kernel. Regards, Gergo
