Bug#981087: getting rid of false positive firmware warnings?

Package: initramfs-tools-core
Version: 0.139
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

when my initramfs is built, the radeon module complains about a
truckload of "Possible missing firmware". Since my system is running
finr without them, I guess those are false positives for my graphics
card, so the warnings should not be there (their sheer volume hides real
issues).

Would you be willing to accept a patch to
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions reading a list of
possibly-missing-but-not-necessary firmware files and not emitting the
"Possible missing firmware" warning for firmware files that are listed
in the file?

If so, can you please help me with a language issue and suggest a better
name and a probable location for the file? Thank you very much.

Greetings
Marc
