We would like to clarify with linux-firmware maintainers to understnad what should be our actions to allow this to be accepted. - firmware contains GPL components; - LICENCE file states that sources for GPL components will be provided on request to oslegal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx There was an opinion that it is not enough: precedent case like this with carl9170 firmware was resolved by submitting GPL sources into linux-firmware repository itself. Does the same applies to qsr10g firmware? The SDK that we use to build it is quite heavy (> 100MB, but with toolchain). Maybe we can take another approach to place SDK separately on Quantenna website (as a compressed archive), and add a link in linux-firmware?
