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.
MSM8916 has a single "modem" firmware for the audio DSP and modem.
In some early tests, the remote processor boots successfully at least
and the modem shows up in ofono. (Have not done further tests yet...)
However, audio stops working as soon as it is loaded
(because the audio DSP assumes control over the audio hardware).
For now let's just package it for all MSM8916 mainline devices
so it can be installed more easily. It is not used or installed
by default but it can be manually installed for testing.
