It's not an official requirement. I prefer tabs here, but I never
rejected a patch because of this.

Have there been discussions? Do you have a pointer?

I think I removed it during rewriting the network stuff.

You could use a cramfs but it adds quite some binary size to the
image. Is it even possible to share the firmware with Linux? I guess
Linux does a request_firmware which either expects the firmware to be
