Bug#804862: Firmware in alternate directories not supported
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.13~rc6-1~exp1
Severity: important
The patch
"bugfix/all/firmware_class-log-every-success-and-failure.patch" was
incorrectly rebased onto 3.13, causing the firmware loader to continue
looping over the firmware search path after successfully loading
firmware. (It would also leak memory.) This was not noticed because
firmware is usually loaded from /lib/firmware which is at the end of
the path.
This bug is present in jessie and later suites.
Ben.
