Cover letter [cip-dev] [PATCH 0/2] Remove firmware files from CIP kernel

Quoted 10 lines · Jan Kiszka

This backports the removal of in-kernel firmware files that upstream did for 4.14.
Besides the issue mentioned in the upstream commit, the primary motivation for us are undefined licenses (according to WHENCE) for a? couple of the files. This creates entries in automated license analysis
and, depending on the conclusion drawn from them, can mean further activities like kernel source package surgeries. For similar reasons, Debian removed those files long ago as well.

Right, this seems like a reasonable change.

I couldn't apply your patch 1, apparently because some of the deleted ihex files have lines longer than the SMTP line limit, but I believe I've ended up with an equivalent commit.

Ben.
