Add support for downloading the firmware using kernel-builtin mechanism.
This will remove the need for the firmware files in the driver source code.

Adds the firmware to the firmware directory in ihex format so it can be
installed when doing make firmware_install.
Also update the firmware location in the driver code so it can locate
the files in the right place.
This should conclude the move to request_firmware().

Rafael reported:
I get the following error from 'make modules_install' on my test boxes:
HOSTCC firmware/ihex2fw
/home/rafael/src/linux-2.6/firmware/ihex2fw.c:268: fatal error: opening dependency file firmware/.ihex2fw.d: Read-only file system
compilation terminated.
make[3]: *** [firmware/ihex2fw] Error 1
make[2]: *** [_modinst_post] Error 2
make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
where the configuration is that the kernel is compiled on a build box
with 'make O=<destdir> -j5' and then <destdir> is mounted over NFS read-only by
each test box (full path to this directory is the same on the build box and on
the test boxes). Then, I cd into <destdir>, run 'make modules_install' and get
the error above.
The issue turns out to be that we when we install firmware pick
up the list of firmware blobs from firmware/Makefile.
And this triggers the Makefile rules to update ihex2fw.
There were two solutions for this issue:
1) Move the list of firmware blobs to a separate file
2) Avoid ihex2fw rebuild by moving it to scripts
As I seriously beleive that the list of firmware blobs should be
done in a fundamental different way solution 2) was selected.

We store the firmware in its native big-endian form now, so the loop in
ace_copy() is modified to use be32_to_cpup() when writing it out.
We can forget the BSS,SBSS sections of the firmware, since we were
clearing all the device's RAM anyway. And the text,rodata,data sections
can all be loaded as a single chunk since they're contiguous (give or
take a few dozen bytes in between).

Although it wasn't actually using ihex records before, we use the Intel
HEX record format for this firmware -- because that gives us a simple
way to split it into separate chunks internally as we need, without
loading each part as a separate file.

Since it had various regions to be loaded to separate addresses, and it
wanted to do them in fairly small chunks anyway, switch it to use the
new ihex code. Encode the start address in the first record.

Some drivers could do with using records like Intel HEX, but with each
record being larger than 256 bytes. This has been possible in the binary
representation (struct ihex_binrec) in the kernel since the beginning --
at least of the the current version of history. But we haven't been able
to represent that in the .HEX files which get converted to .fw files.
This adds a '-w' option to ihex2fw to make it interpret the first _two_
bytes of each line as the record length, instead of only one byte. And
adds makefile rules for %.H16->%.fw which use that.
Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
Not the straight conversion to binary which objcopy can do for us, but
actually representing each record with its original {addr, length},
because some drivers need that information preserved.
Fix up 'firmware_install' to be able to build $(hostprogs-y) too.
Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
For 'make modules_install', install any firmware required by
the modules which are being installed.
Also add a 'make firmware_install' target which doesn't depend on the
configuration, but installs _all_ available in-kernel-tree firmware into
$(INSTALL_FW_PATH), which defaults to /lib/firmware. This is intended
for distributors to make arch-independent (and config-independent)
packages containing firmware.
Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>
This will control whether we build firmware into the kernel image for
_every_ driver which we convert to request_firmware(), to avoid a
proliferation of 'CONFIG_XXX_FIRMWARE' options for each one.
Default to 'y' for now, which is the wrong thing to do but people seem
to be insisting on it and refusing to even review patches until it's
done. And it does preserve the existing behaviour for built-in drivers.

This allows arbitrary firmware files to be included in the static kernel
where the firmware loader can find them without requiring userspace to
be alive.
