Subject: [RHEL5.1] MODULE_FIRMWARE patch
Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2007 14:30:40 -0400
Bugzilla: 233494
Message-Id: <20070322183040.GD29240@devserv.devel.redhat.com>
Changelog: [module] MODULE_FIRMWARE support


Yo,

I wanna get this into RHEL5.1 so I can add support for adding firmware deps.
to initrd images. With this patch, it will now be possible to build drivers
that annotate their source to provide us with this information - note that
I'm not proposing we undo the re-integration of firmware in drivers we
currently ship. This is more for any added/third party driver builds.

It's upstream, just wasn't there in time for RHEL5.
