[DragonFlyBSD - Submit #3044] isp: Unify firmware handling with the rest of the system.

[bugtracker-admin at leaf.dragonflybsd.org]

Issue #3044 has been updated by swildner.


Looks fine, thanks. Also for the script.

I've tested it and the firmware is loaded here with ispfw in the kernel config as well as with isp_1040_load=yes in /boot/loader.conf.

One question though: Should/can we preserve the ispfw.ko module (one module with all firmwares) that we had before? If not, I'll add removing ispfw.ko to 'make upgrade'.

Hello,

these patches convert firmware binary data from C arrays in a header files to uuencode .uu files. Byte order of the firmware image is little-endian. As far as DragonFly BSD supports only little-endian architectures it's ok. But in case of a big-endian architecture the byte order must be changed before firmware is processed by the isp driver. They also move the .uu images to a sys/contrib/dev/isp.

The first part concerns these firmwares: isp_1040, isp_1040_it, isp_1080, isp_1080_it, isp_12160, isp_12160_it, isp_2100, isp_2200, isp_2300 and isp_2322.
The second part concerns these firmwares: isp_2400, isp_2400_multi, isp_2500, isp_2500_multi.

The division is needed because a size of a single patch must be less than 5 MB for the bugtracker to accept.
