request_firmware() outputs an error message if the firmware file does
not exist, whereas request_firmware_direct() doesn't. Since the
firmware file can be in one of two locations, that seems to be the
most appropriate behavior.
However, request_firmware_direct() also does not invoke the userspace
helper. In the case of Nouveau I don't believe we need this, but if I
overlooked something let me know and I will think of something else.

I wonder if perhaps we should just replace the mechanism entirely, and remove the support for nouveau/fuc* as we add "official" support for NVIDIA's ucode. The existing code is actually partially broken anyway, and mostly works by luck and was intended as a development aid / workaround anyway. There are no chipsets (aside from GM2xx...) which we don't currently support using our own ucode, so the impact of removing it will be very minimal. Thoughts?

I'm all for making things simpler, and if someone needs to use an external firmware for a Nouveau-supported GPU they can always put it under the nvidia/ firmware directory. So if you agree with it I will remove support for firmwares in nouveau/ in GR. I am not sure whether your statement also applies to other firmwares (falcon, xtensa)? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I'd say leave the non-gr engines for now, at least until we know what NVIDIA plans on doing with dGPU firmwares. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
