| |
Hi Greg, hi Andrew,
This 6 patches patch set allows for a removal of the firmware name length restriction from the firmware class API. Currently we're limited to 30 characters for firmware names because of a statically allocated 30 bytes string in the firmware class code. We also want to remove the FIRMWARE_NAME_MAX definition to prevent future drivers from referencing it.
Patch #1 removes that restriction by dynamically allocating the firmware id. Patches #2,3,4,5,6 remove all FIRMWARE_NAME_MAX references from the kernel code. Patch #7 gets rid of the FIRMWARE_NAME_MAX definition, and should be applied only once all previous patches from this patch set are applied.
Cheers, Samuel.
v2: Included John Linville's patch for the libertas wireless driver.
