Component Type: kbuild config

Description: Firmware loading facility

More info: This enables the firmware loading facility in the kernel. The kernel will first look for built-in firmware, if it has any. Next, it will look for the requested firmware in a series of filesystem paths: o firmware_class path module parameter or kernel boot param o /lib/firmware/updates/UTS_RELEASE o /lib/firmware/updates o /lib/firmware/UTS_RELEASE o /lib/firmware Enabling this feature only increases your kernel image by about 828 bytes, enable this option unless you are certain you don't need firmware. You typically want this built-in (=y) but you can also enable this as a module, in which case the firmware_class module will be built. You also want to be sure to enable this built-in if you are going to enable built-in firmware (CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE).
