Hi Tim and Andy,

I wanted to get come clarification in regards to firmware files being
marked as optional.  In a completely separate thread to this one, Tim
had submitted a patch which updates all the bnx2 udeb firmware files to
*not* be marked as optional:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2010-June/010944.html

Tim, you had mentioned that "Its worth noting that firmware files,
unlike modules, are not generated and should never be marked
optional..."

So Andy my question here is do we actually need the e100 and qlogic
firmware files marked as optional for the armel-omap udebs?  Or can I
drop this patch as part of the series?

Thanks,
Leann
