dwmw2 has been told repeatedly that his changes will cause PRECISELY these problems, but he refuses to take the simple steps necessary to ensure people can continue to boot their kernels after his changes go in.

Complete nonsense. Setting CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL isn't hard. But
shouldn't be the _default_, either.

Presently his tg3 changes have been nak'd, in part, because of this obviously, forseeable, work-around-able breakage.

They haven't even been reviewed. Nobody seems to have actually looked at

Yes, they have.  You just didn't like the answers you received.

In particular, the Kconfig default for built-in tg3 firmware should result in the current behavior, without the user having to take extra steps.

Because of your stubborn refusal on this Kconfig defaults issue, WE ALREADY HAVE DRIVER-DOES-NOT-WORK BREAKAGE, JUST AS PREDICTED.

Wake up and smell reality.  Please.
