Jaswinder Singh fb54be8755 vicam: use request_firmware()
Although it wasn't actually using ihex records before, we use the Intel
HEX record format for this firmware -- because that gives us a simple
way to split it into separate chunks internally as we need, without
loading each part as a separate file.

Since it had various regions to be loaded to separate addresses, and it
wanted to do them in fairly small chunks anyway, switch it to use the
new ihex code. Encode the start address in the first record.

David Woodhouse 59890f74e5 ihex: Add support for long records to ihex2fw.c
Some drivers could do with using records like Intel HEX, but with each
record being larger than 256 bytes. This has been possible in the binary
representation (struct ihex_binrec) in the kernel since the beginning --
at least of the the current version of history. But we haven't been able
to represent that in the .HEX files which get converted to .fw files.

This adds a '-w' option to ihex2fw to make it interpret the first _two_
bytes of each line as the record length, instead of only one byte. And
adds makefile rules for %.H16->%.fw which use that.

David Woodhouse 8bd6b2229b ihex: add ihex2fw tool for converting HEX files into firmware images
Not the straight conversion to binary which objcopy can do for us, but
actually representing each record with its original {addr, length},
because some drivers need that information preserved.

Fix up 'firmware_install' to be able to build $(hostprogs-y) too.

David Woodhouse bacfe09dd7 ihex.h: binary representation of ihex records
Some devices need their firmware as a set of {address, len, data...}
records in some specific order rather than a simple blob.

The normal way of doing this kind of thing is 'ihex', which is a text
format and not entirely suitable for use in the kernel.

This provides a binary representation which is very similar, but much
more compact -- and a helper routine to skip to the next record,
because the alignment constraints mean that everybody will screw it up
for themselves otherwise.

Also a helper function which can verify that a 'struct firmware'
contains a valid set of ihex records, and that following them won't run
off the end of the loaded data.

David Woodhouse 88ecf814c4 firmware: Add firmware installation to modules_install, add firmware_install
For 'make modules_install', install any firmware required by
the modules which are being installed.

Also add a 'make firmware_install' target which doesn't depend on the
configuration, but installs _all_ available in-kernel-tree firmware into
$(INSTALL_FW_PATH), which defaults to /lib/firmware. This is intended
for distributors to make arch-independent (and config-independent)
packages containing firmware.

David Woodhouse d172e7f5c6 firmware: Add CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL option.
This will control whether we build firmware into the kernel image for
_every_ driver which we convert to request_firmware(), to avoid a
proliferation of 'CONFIG_XXX_FIRMWARE' options for each one.

Default to 'y' for now, which is the wrong thing to do but people seem
to be insisting on it and refusing to even review patches until it's
done. And it does preserve the existing behaviour for built-in drivers.

David Woodhouse 5658c76944 firmware: allow firmware files to be built into kernel image
Some drivers have their own hacks to bypass the kernel's firmware loader
and build their firmware into the kernel; this renders those unnecessary.

Other drivers don't use the firmware loader at all, because they always
want the firmware to be available. This allows them to start using the
firmware loader.

A third set of drivers already use the firmware loader, but can't be
used without help from userspace, which sometimes requires an initrd.
This allows them to work in a static kernel.

David Woodhouse fa6e1cb66e maestro3: treat firmware data as const
The maestro3 driver is byte-swapping its firmware to be host-endian in
advance, when it doesn't seem to be necessary -- we could just use
le16_to_cpu() as we load it.

Doing that means that we need to switch the in-tree firmware to be
little-endian too.

Take the least intrusive way of doing this, which is to switch the
existing snd_m3_convert_from_le() function to convert _to_ little-endian
instead, and use it on the in-tree firmware instead of the loaded
firmware. It's a bit suboptimal but doesn't matter much right now
because we're about to remove the special cases for the in-tree version
anyway.
