** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * Firmware files under /lib/firmware/updates would not be + processed when running update-initramfs + + * The kernel org specifies that this is a location where + firmware can be stored, so we should search there + + [Test Case] + + * Stage some firmware under /lib/firmware/updates + + * Run update-initramfs and ensure that the firmware in + /lib/firmware/updates is found and included in the initramfs + + [Where problems could occur] + + * Since dpkg places no files in /lib/firmware/updates, we + could end up picking up firmware changes that we did not intend + + [Other info] + + * This change already exists in groovy and beyond. It was pulled in + when initramfs-tools version 0.137 was merged from Debian + according to the kernel doc http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/firmware_class/README Linux kernel will search firmware from "/lib/firmware/updates/" UTS_RELEASE, "/lib/firmware/updates", "/lib/firmware/" UTS_RELEASE, "/lib/firmware" But the add module function in initramfs-tools won't search the "/lib/firmware/updates". This problem applies to all Ubuntu releases. Attach patch to fix this.
