Linux kernel source tree
8eb7ad99ae
The GuC/HuC firmware files used by Xe drivers are the same as used by i915. Use the already-known location to find those firmware files, for a couple of reasons: 1. Avoid having the same firmware placed on two different places on MODULE_FIRMWARE(), if both 915 and xe drivers are compiled; 2. Having firmware files located on different locations may end creating bigger initramfs, as the same files will be copied twice my mkinitrd/dracut/...; 3. this is the place where those firmware files are located at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git Upstream doesn't expect them to have on other places; 4. When built with display support, DMC firmware will be loaded from i915/ directory. It is very confusing to have some firmware files on a different place for the same driver.

Previous directory was not wrong as the plan was to have it handled in the upstream firmware repo. For future platforms the location can be changed if the support is only in xe ] Signed-off-by: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.demarchi@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230310081338.3275583-1-mauro.chehab@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> |

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.
