My issue was not about changing the format of the data, but about it being forced into userland, ie. requiring an initrd. After speaking to Woodhouse over irc, I have learned that with the new firmware infrastructure this is optional and one can still link the firmware into the kernel. Given that the previous firmware moving patches have always been about getting firmware out of the kernel due to certain distro's being silly about it, this wasn't actually obvious. If your patch description had been a little more detailed and explained that it didn't require firmware to go into userland it would have been easier for someone who hasn't been following the previous thread on the subject. So, I don't have any objections to this patch as long as the new firmware interface continues to allow me to link this into the kernel.
