threeeye bc1d038eac REVVL 6 Pro kernel bring-up: full working tree snapshot (2026-09-12)
Squashed backup commit (no shallow-clone history issues) of
xiaomi-mt6833-dev/kernel_xiaomi_mt6833 (lineage-23.2 branch, upstream
commit 9eece662e) plus all fixes applied to get everpal_defconfig building
clean against a modern (GCC 15.2.0) toolchain -- see the previous commit
message on the lineage-23.2 branch (also in this repo history is not
available here since this is a squashed snapshot; full incremental history
lives in the local DL380 checkout and the upstream GitHub remote).

Firmware search paths
=====================
The following search paths are used to look for firmware on your
root filesystem.
* fw_path_para - module parameter - default is empty so this is ignored
* /lib/firmware/updates/UTS_RELEASE/
* /lib/firmware/updates/
* /lib/firmware/UTS_RELEASE/
* /lib/firmware/
The module parameter ''path'' can be passed to the firmware_class module
to activate the first optional custom fw_path_para. The custom path can
only be up to 256 characters long. The kernel parameter passed would be:
* 'firmware_class.path=$CUSTOMIZED_PATH'
There is an alternative to customize the path at run time after bootup, you
can use the file:
* /sys/module/firmware_class/parameters/path
You would echo into it your custom path and firmware requested will be
searched for there first.
