Firmware files for Ralink RT28x0
Quoted 9 lines · Ben Hutchings
I notice that rt2800{pci,usb} each specify only one firmware image, regardless of the controller version.
This is inconsistent with rt28{6,7}0sta and with the firmware images in linux-firmware.
If you think that a single image per bus type can cover all controllers, please identify those firmware images, test them on each hardware generation, and get them into linux-firmware.

rt3070.bin rt3071.bin rt3090.bin should be deleted from linux-firmware. They were only need by staging drivers.

«Allá muevan feroz guerra, ciegos reyes por un palmo más de tierra; que yo aquí tengo por mío cuanto abarca el mar bravío, a quien nadie impuso leyes. Y no hay playa, sea cualquiera, ni bandera de esplendor, que no sienta mi derecho y dé pecho a mi valor.»

True, but the rt2860 and rt2870 firmware file are outdated in the linux-firmware,
and probably don't support the rt3090 or other more recent chipsets. So before they can be removed, those files must be updated.

Larry Finger sent a patch to remove the rt28{6,7}0 staging drivers. So the rt3070.bin rt3071.bin rt3090.bin files in linux-firmware also can be removed, because they are included _only_ in the rt28{6,7}0 staging drivers.

As I wrote earlier, my RT3090 is supported by rt2860.bin. I haven't tested everything, but is functioned in STA and ad-hoc modes.
