It fails for FW_LOADER=m and the user =y. This should fix it. This patch fixes the following 2.6.26-rc regression: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10730 Reviewed-by: Toralf Foerster Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Cc: "Rafael J.

firmware: provide stubs for the FW_LOADER=n case

2008-03-10T23:33:33+00:00

libsas has a case where it uses the firmware loader to provide services, but doesn't want to select it all the time. This currently causes a compile failure in libsas if FW_LOADER=n. Fix this by providing error stubs for the firmware loader API in the FW_LOADER=n case. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley Cc: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] drivers/base/firmware_class.c: cleanups

2006-05-21T19:59:19+00:00

- remove the following global function that is both unused and unimplemented: - register_firmware() - make the following needlessly global function static: - firmware_class_uevent() Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"

2006-01-05T00:18:08+00:00

Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports the state to userspace and generates events. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] modified firmware_class.c to support no hotplug

2005-09-07T23:57:26+00:00

Upgrade the request_firmware_nowait function to not start the hotplug action on a firmware update. This patch is tested along with dell_rbu driver on i386 and x86-64 systems. Signed-off-by: Abhay Salunke Cc: Greg KH Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
