#1250125 — [PATCH linux-firmware 0/7] Metadata fixes for linux-firmware

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

I've been updating Debian's firmware-nonfree package to be based more
closely on linux-firmware.git. This included some new checks on the
WHENCE file, which uncovered some errors, omissions and oddities.

Ben.
