Hi, The recently merged aic94xx in mainline requires external firmware support. This, in turn, necessitates an initrd/initramfs environment that includes firmware support to load the firmware. Will a patch to optionally include the firmware inline in the kernel and thus not having to use an initramfs be acceptable? Also, aic94xx does not compile unless FW_LOADER is set in .config due to missing 'request_firmware'. What's the right thing to do here - aic94xx selecting it, depending on it, or FW_LOADER providing empty request_firmware() in case it's compiled out (the last one violates the principle of least surprise IMHO).
