Direct firmware load for *firmware file* failed with error -2 #21

Closed kitakar5525 closed 4 years ago

kitakar5525 commented 4 years ago

When you build driver as built-in, if the driver uses firmware file, you may see the following message on dmesg:

Direct firmware load for *firmware file* failed with error -2
kitakar5525 commented 4 years ago

The message appears maybe because the driver loads firmware files too early and root filesystem is not mounted yet.

Build the driver as module or use CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE
