Don't know know when the device needs calibration information or not. And you can just request_firmware() that file. If it is there, then load it, if not then skip the step. > The firmware_request() requires a relative file path under /lib/firmware/. > What is the standard location you are referring to? You have to create proper filenames for your hardware. Like mrvl/cal_data_v1.conf or similar. > >> I do not like the module parameter approach. > > I'm open to any other approaches. Do you have any suggestions? As I said above, the device should know if it needs calibration or not. And just installing a file on disk is simpler than having to modify the module parameters somewhere.
