+
+Firmware images for Broadcom Fullmac are available from the linux-firmware
+repository:
+
+ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/
+
+It is always preferable to use firmware and configs from mainline Linux.
+
+When importing from linux-firmware, use vendor tag "LINUX" and release
+tag that's the name of the linux-firmware shapshot you're importing,
+e.g. "linux-firmware-20200316".
+
+
+There are some cases where the required files are not available from
+mainline linux-firmware. In these cases, different vendor / release
+tags should be used for these specific files. These special cases
+are listed here.
+
+Pinebook Pro "bwfm" firmware
+
+These firmware images come from Tobias Schramm's pinebook-firmware
+repository:
+
+ https://gitlab.manjaro.org/tsys/pinebook-firmware/-/tree/master/brcm
+
+When importing from this repository, use vendor tag "tsys-pinebook-firmware"
+and a release tag "commit-SHA" where SHA is the Git commit identifier.
+
+This applies to the following files:
+
+ dist/brcmfmac43456-sdio.bin
+ dist/brcmfmac43456-sdio.clm_blob
+ dist/brcmfmac43456-sdio.pine64,pinebook-pro.txt
+
+Note that in the pinebook-firmware repository, the file
+brcmfmac43456-sdio.pine64,pinebook-pro.txt is a symbolic link to
+brcmfmac43456-sdio.txt.
