OK, tested on my laptop. Results: CONFIG_TIGON3=y CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y works - the firmware gets loaded during early system boot and all is as expected. CONFIG_TIGON3=y CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=n wedges up - Booted with 'ignore_loglevel initcall_debug', and the last thing we get is: tg3 0000:09:00.0: firmware: requesting tigon/tg3_tso.bin At which point we hang because request_firmware apparently never returns.
