Add /lib/firmware to search path #252
Conversation
In early boot, the other locations may not be mounted, so its useful to also search a path on the root filesystem

The use case I have isnt related to normal firmwares being loaded. On the Pro1, when a user performs a screen replacement, the screens come with an android tailored firmware which disables touches at the edges, which doesnt work well on sailfish. I have rebuilt the kernel to support flashing the TS firmware, and have the appropriate file, but the firmware loading fails on the other paths as theyre not mounted yet. By putting the firmware in /lib/firmware, its possible to update the TS firmware from sailfish, and users dont have t go back to android to do it. |

Did you try without this? The kernel should pick /lib/firmware on its own. |

I did, and it didnt. @mlehtima suggested a kernel config change, but this seems easier than ports having to rebuild dhd! :) |
