How will the firmware attribute in the .module_info section be used?

For any one model of TV capture device, the cx25840 only needs one of
the above firmware files.  The others need not exist.

I would not want anything in user or kernel space to refuse to load the
module just because all 3 firmware files are not present.

Regards,
Andy


The MODULE_FIRMWARE macro is purely informational. Declaring the firmware files that the driver _might_ use helps me pare down the external firmware package to just those files that I know it must have. This patch will have no runtime impact.

Note that there are plenty of uses of the MODULE_FIRMWARE macro within the kernel.
