Hi Greg,
I have looked at the patches and documentation on how to proceed
forward. But I have a doubt. Was hoping you could make it clear for
me. You have said that you don't want unnecessary binary firmware
files in the source which is really good. But if I how do I know which
binary files are required or not? This is nearly impossible for me to
guess this, since I haven't written the driver.
Please help me out with this.
