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 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 4d2acfbfdf firmware: Add CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE option
This allows arbitrary firmware files to be included in the static kernel
where the firmware loader can find them without requiring userspace to
be alive.

(Updated and CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR added with lots of help from
Johannes Berg).
