Linux kernel source tree
74530a639a
Currently the bcm_uart_subver_ and bcm_usb_subver_table-s lack entries for various newer chipsets. This makes the code use just "BCM" as prefix for the filename to pass to request-firmware, making it harder for users to figure out which firmware they need. This especially a problem with UART attached devices where this leads to the filename being "BCM.hcd". If we add new entries to the subver-tables now, then this will change what firmware file the kernel looks for, e.g. currently linux-firmware contains a brcm/BCM-0bb4-0306.hcd file. If we add the info for the BCM20703A1 to the subver table, then this will change to brcm/BCM20703A1-0bb4-0306.hcd. This will cause the file to no longer get loaded breaking Bluetooth for existing users, going against the no regressions policy. To avoid this regression make the btbcm code try multiple filenames, first try the fullname, e.g. BCM20703A1-0bb4-0306.hcd and if that is not found, then fallback to the name with just BCM as prefix. This commit also adds an info message which filename was used, this makes the output look like this for example: [ 57.387867] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM20703A1 [ 57.387870] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM20703A1 (001.001.005) build 0000 [ 57.389438] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM20703A1 'brcm/BCM20703A1-0a5c-6410.hcd' Patch [ 58.681769] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM20703A1 Generic USB 20Mhz fcbga_BU [ 58.681772] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM20703A1 (001.001.005) build 0481 Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
