Maybe this is a little premature, or altogether irrelevant, but now that we're reorganizing all of the firmware what can we expect in terms of its inclusion in the initcpio?
Is there a direct relationship between modules and firmware so that just what's needed can be loaded automatically? Is it too much to just take it all with a 'firmware' hook?
Required firmware is added to the initramfs automatically - at least the firmware files that are listed in 'modinfo' of the module in question. Beyond that, there is nothing we can do.
Does anyone know what the point of that radeon hook in the AUR is then? All it does is add the radeon module and include the "radeon" firmware files - which I see are listed by 'modinfo radeon' anyway.
