Right now we have all firmware packages under firmware/*.
This is problematic for mainly two reasons:
- It's not immediately clear which firmware packages we need to keep
when forking a new stable branch. (Where we delete testing devices
at the moment...) We might end up deleting firmware packages that
are actually used by one of the devices in community.
- When backporting devices to the stable we cannot just cherry-pick
the commit that moved the device to community (since it does not
contain the firmware package). Instead we need to cherry-pick
earlier commits as well, which may touch a lot of deleted files
in the testing directory.
Let's make this consistent by also placing the firmware packages in
the device/* directory. We already have the common firmware- prefix
to distinguish them from device/kernel packages, which are already
both under the device/* directory.
device/device-asus-me176c:
- Install me176c-factory to apply correct MAC addresses for
WiFi and BT
- Use FAT32 for boot partition. This allows flashing the boot
partition directly as ESP (EFI System Partition).
- Overall cleanup
device/linux-asus-me176c:
- Update kernel fork to 4.19.80
- Cleanup APKBUILD
- Stop building patched ACPI DSDT table directly into kernel
firmware/firmware-asus-me176c:
- Package WiFi firmware
firmware/firmware-asus-me176c-acpi:
- New package for the patched ACPI DSDT table
-> Separate from firmware-asus-me176c because it is always required,
(not optional)
