There are a few Samsungs with custom firmware as well. Arend: what is the legal situation with these custom firmwares? I was under the impression that Broadcom actually made these, so they could in theory be given permission for redistribution in linux-firmware? Some that I have are newer versions than what is in Linux-firmware, e.g this from linux-firmware: brcm/brcmfmac4330-sdio.bin 4330b2-roml/sdio-ag-pool-ccx-btamp-p2p-idsup-idauth-proptxstatus-pno-aoe-toe-pktfilter-keepalive Version: 5.90.125.104 CRC: 2570e6a3 Date: Tue 2011-10-25 19:34:26 PDT There is this found in Samsung Codina GT-I8160: 4330b2-roml/sdio-g-p2p-aoe-pktfilter-keepalive-pno-ccx-wepso Version: 5.99.10.0 CRC: 4f7fccf Date: Wed 2012-12-05 01:02:50 PST FWID 01-52653ba9 Or: brcmfmac4334-sdio.bin 4334b1min-roml/sdio-ag-pno-p2p-ccx-extsup-proptxstatus-dmatxrc-rxov-pktfilter-keepalive-aoe-vsdb-wapi-wl11d Version: 6.10.0.0 CRC: 31410dd4 Date: Tue 2012-06-26 11:33:07 PDT FWID 01-8ee3be86 There is this found in Samsung Golden GT-I8190N: 4334b1-roml/sdio-ag-p2p-extsup-aoe-pktfilter-keepalive-pno-dmatxrc-rxov-proptxstatus-vsdb-mchan-okc-rcc-fmc-wepso-txpwr-autoabn-sr Version: 6.10.58.99 CRC: 828f9174 Date: Mon 2013-08-26 02:13:44 PDT FWID 01-e39d4d77 So in some cases more than a year newer firmware versions compared to linux-firmware, I guess also customized for the phones, but I can't really tell because we don't have anything of similar date in linux-firmware.
