But if someone like to > make it as in-line to kernel image, still it should work. I am also not very happy with the situation that we can't compile drivers into the kernel and just get the firmware later once it is available. That's the situation we are in though and if you want to change it you have to discuss this with the firmware maintainers. What you've done in the ELE driver is a hack and I doubt that you get this through.
