2017-09-14	firmware: delete in-kernel firmware	Greg Kroah-Hartman	2	-9417/+0
	The last firmware change for the in-kernel firmware source code was back in 2013. Everyone has been relying on the out-of-tree linux-firmware package for a long long time. So let's drop it, it's baggage we don't need to keep dragging around (and having to fix random kbuild issues over time...)

2009-01-04	firmware: convert acenic driver to request_firmware()	Jaswinder Singh	2	-0/+9417
	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).
