From c9855842ac422b8d3a6e7265b6a3c00efe3891e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Robin H. Johnson" Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2016 06:48:30 -0700 Subject: FIRMWARE_INSTALL control option. Prefer sys-kernel/linux-firmware to be installed and used rather than always running firmware_install and overwriting the root copy. Defaults to FIRMWARE_INSTALL=no, with ebuild updated to RDEPEND on sys-kernel/linux-firmware, via IUSE='+firmware' Signed-off-by: Robin H.
