The patch titled firmware: allow release-specific firmware dir has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was firmware-allow-release-specific-firmware-dir.patch This patch was dropped because it was nacked The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: firmware: allow release-specific firmware dir From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@xxxxxxxx> Every kernel package trying to provide files under /lib/firmware runs into problems really quickly with multiple kernels installed, especially with respect to distribution package tracking of the files. This patch moves them to /lib/firmware/$KERNELRELEASE. udev v127's firmware.sh looks there first before falling back to /lib/firmware.
