Hi sorry for being unclear, I mentioned in the old thread that I've not had time to fix this properly (or think about a proper fix), Greg requested a rebase on top of linux-next, however, at least for firmware path listing. Should I amend the commit description so it is not misleading and remove the 'updating' part?
