The firmware for brcmfmac devices includes information regarding
regulatory constraints. For certain devices this information is kept
separately in a binary form that needs to be downloaded to the device.
This patch adds support to download this so-called CLM blob file. It
uses the same naming scheme as the other firmware files with extension
of .clm_blob.
Not to bikeshed this, but why not just ".clm"? ".clm_blob" seems
unnecessary and could feel "unprofessional" to users.
To me simple seems better.
Hi Steve,
Glad you ask ;-) It was one of my comments pre-reviewing this
"internally"*. The problem with calling it .clm is that it means
something else within Broadcom and Cypress for that matter. The
.clm_blob is the output of tool compiling the regulatory data according
an input specification which uses the .clm extension. It is similar to
regdb.txt and regulatory.bin.
Regards,
Arend
