it would need to be converted to the binary form first, or the patch
will need to rewritten to use the s-record format.

We can do binary form. We just run it through objcopy -Ibinary -Oihex
for convenience of handling it (and that's different to the ones we
actually hand to the kernel in the form of records).

i guess whatever you want to do.  it is just as easy to distribute
the firmware with the atm tools.  it would also ease your gpl concerns
which you noted in your first message.
