Hi David,

if ((result = kaweth_download_firmware(kaweth,
- kaweth_trigger_code_fix,
- len_kaweth_trigger_code_fix,
+ "kaweth/ trigger_code_fix.bin",

We don't put hirarchy policy into drivers.

Not a strictly accurate observation; we've been doing so for some time.

we tried to not put that policy into the drivers and I was looking over this, but in the meantime driver slipped past me and made it in. We should not do this at all and if people wanna have this, then they should solve this within udev.

Regards

Marcel
