Description Kai 2015-09-08 07:33:40 UTC 
Right now the firmware shipped in <https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/radeon> is older, than what is available from <https://secure.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/>. Please consider submitting the most recent firmware files to the linux-firmware repository.

For example, the most recent hawaii_ce.bin (<https://secure.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/radeon_ucode/hawaii/hawaii_ce.bin>) is from 2015-06-10, while the linux-firmware repository saw the last update on 2014-08-20 (merge was seven days later). As a MD5 comparison shows, these are not the same files:
9e05820da42549ce9c89d147cf1f8e19  linux-firmware/hawaii_ce.bin
286640da3d90d7b51bdb038b65addc47  p.fd.o/~agd5f/hawaii_ce.bin

This update would allow me (and others) to drop custom "update" directories from /lib/firmware as distributions would pick them up. Which in turn would ease testing of new Kernels and Mesa revisions.

Ping.

There has been a further round of firmware updates on 2015-10-16.
Comment 2 Kai 2015-12-12 17:37:34 UTC 
Fixed by 90d3de6378a764c6471d6f158ac022c1f9e5ed22 (<https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit?id=90d3de6378a764c6471d6f158ac022c1f9e5ed22>).

Thanks.
