The use case for them is to ship generated files that require tools we don't want to require for "just" a kernel build. The only exception is ./drivers/net/wan/wanxlfw.inc_shipped, which really should use the firmware loader instead, or given that the driver has seen no work since git history probably just be removed. So please remove the bullshit language that seems to imply allowing to ship binaries code, and resend the patch. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
