Re: [PATCH] Bluetooth: btmrvl_sdio: look for sd8688 firmware in alternate place

Hi Lubomir,

linux-firmware ships the sd8688* firmware images that are shared with
libertas_sdio WiFi driver under libertas/. libertas_sdio looks in both places
and so should we.

NAK from me on this one. I do not want the driver to check two
locations. That is what userspace can work around.

If we want to unify the location between the WiFi driver and the
Bluetooth driver, I am fine with that, but seriously, just pick one over
the other. I do not care which one.

The unified location is mrvl/ directory.

We can probably move SD8688 firmware & helper binaries to mrvl/ and have both drivers grab the images there?

That would break existing setups, wouldn't it?

I was under impression (commit 3d32a58b) that we care about
compatibility here. Do we?

that is what symlinks are for.
