Allows to load firmware files which aren't built inside the kernel. Especially useful for CODA firmware (vpu_fw_imx6q.bin) which is usually located in the rootfs. Signed-off-by: Gary Bisson <gary.bisson@boundarydevices.com> --- Hi Shawn, I'm not sure if this patch is acceptable since I've noticed that no configuration currently has that option enabled (why?). As mentioned in the commit, I had to enable that in order to have CODA load the VPU firmware properly. Another option would be to make the CODA driver a module... Let me know your thoughts.
