Rafael reported:
I get the following error from 'make modules_install' on my test boxes:
HOSTCC firmware/ihex2fw
/home/rafael/src/linux-2.6/firmware/ihex2fw.c:268: fatal error: opening dependency file firmware/.ihex2fw.d: Read-only file system
compilation terminated.
make[3]: *** [firmware/ihex2fw] Error 1
make[2]: *** [_modinst_post] Error 2
make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2where the configuration is that the kernel is compiled on a build box
with 'make O= -j5' and then is mounted over NFS read-only by
each test box (full path to this directory is the same on the build box and on
the test boxes). Then, I cd into , run 'make modules_install' and get
the error above.The issue turns out to be that we when we install firmware pick
up the list of firmware blobs from firmware/Makefile.
And this triggers the Makefile rules to update ihex2fw.There were two solutions for this issue:
1) Move the list of firmware blobs to a separate file
2) Avoid ihex2fw rebuild by moving it to scriptsAs I seriously beleive that the list of firmware blobs should be
done in a fundamental different way solution 2) was selected.Reported-and-tested-by: "Rafael J. Wysocki"

Make firmware/dsp56k/bootstrap.asm buildable on a56, the free Motorola
DSP56001 assembler (http://www.zdomain.com/a56.html).Summary of changes:
- Remove '' candy (they specify explicit addressing modes,
which a56 don't grok, but uses implicitly anyway).- Replace 'move' with 'movem' when accessing program memory.
- Rename a few labels to avoid duplicates (which a56 can't handle).

Firmware blob is big endian

We store the firmware in its native big-endian form now, so the loop in
ace_copy() is modified to use be32_to_cpup() when writing it out.We can forget the BSS,SBSS sections of the firmware, since we were
clearing all the device's RAM anyway. And the text,rodata,data sections
can all be loaded as a single chunk since they're contiguous (give or
take a few dozen bytes in between).Signed-off-by: Jaswinder Singh

When CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR gets changed, the filename in the .S file
(which uses .incbin to include the binary) needs to change. When we
renamed the BUILTIN_FIRMWARE_DIR option to EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR, we forgot
to update the manual dependency in firmware/Makefile, so it was

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.Signed-off-by: Jaswinder Singh

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.Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

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.
