    2         DO NOT ADD FIRMWARE TO THIS DIRECTORY.
    3         ======================================
    4 
    5 This directory is only here to contain firmware images extracted from old
    6 device drivers which predate the common use of request_firmware().
    7 
    8 As we update those drivers to use request_firmware() and keep a clean
    9 separation between code and firmware, we put the extracted firmware
   10 here.
   11 
   12 This directory is _NOT_ for adding arbitrary new firmware images. The
   13 place to add those is the separate linux-firmware repository:
   14 
   15     git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
   16 
   17 That repository contains all these firmware images which have been
   18 extracted from older drivers, as well various new firmware images which
   19 we were never permitted to include in a GPL'd work, but which we _have_
   20 been permitted to redistribute under separate cover.
   21 
   22 To submit firmware to that repository, please send either a git binary
   23 diff or preferably a git pull request to:
   24       David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
   25       Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
   26 
   27 Your commit should include an update to the WHENCE file clearly
   28 identifying the licence under which the firmware is available, and
   29 that it is redistributable. If the licence is long and involved, it's
   30 permitted to include it in a separate file and refer to it from the
   31 WHENCE file.
   32 
   33 Ideally, your commit should contain a Signed-Off-By: from someone
   34 authoritative on the licensing of the firmware in question (i.e. from
   35 within the company that owns the code).
