Hi,
I posted this earlier but did not get a response, so here's hoping that someone who

Most likely because what you've written doesn't make a whole lot of
sense. Your email address also makes it look like you ignore it :).
I am a long-time Fedora user since Fedora Core 1 and I am looking at
installing Fedora 22 on a MS Surface Pro 3 with Type Cover. But in order to do that (and
to have the cover recognized), I noticed that the file linux-***/drivers/hid/hid-ids.h in
the kernel from
kernel.org is missing. This is however available at kcbench (which is the
Missing from where? What package are you referring to, because the
file is certainly in the kernel sources.
kernel compiled for benchmarking). I was wondering what the reasoning
behind this is, because we can not have the Type Cover 3 recognized with the LiveCD while
installing (and so installing without a keyboard is a major hassle). Not to mention,
kcbench draws in over 500 MB with a dnf update.
Maybe you could explain a bit more what you're trying to do here. The
existence of a .h file doesn't provide a device driver. What actual
device driver are you looking for, and why do you think you need the
hid-ids.h file?
Also, is this the correct arena for discussing linux-firmware? If
not, I apologize. If it is, I was looking at:
/lib/firmware/mrvl
which is provided by the linux-firmware rpm and I noticed that it is missing some files:
This is what is in my updated files list:
pcie8897_uapsta.bin sd8797_uapsta.bin usb8766_uapsta.bin
sd8688.bin sd8887_uapsta.bin usb8797_uapsta.bin
sd8688_helper.bin sd8897_uapsta.bin usb8897_uapsta.bin
However, the list here (
git://git.marvell.com/mwifiex-firmware.git) have some more --
here is thelist:
pcie8897_uapsta.bin sd8797_uapsta.bin usb8766_uapsta.bin*
sd8688.bin sd8801_uapsta.bin* usb8797_uapsta.bin
sd8688_helper.bin sd8887_uapsta.bin* usb8801_uapsta.bin*
sd8787_uapsta.bin sd8897_uapsta.bin usb8897_uapsta.bin
So, I was wondering: why are some of the files missing? Is it because of non-OSS issues?
Or should I file a bug/feature request?
I don't know immediately. It might very likely be because Marvell
hasn't sent the updated files to the upstream linux-firmware tree
maintainers yet. You should probably ask Marvell why the sd8801* and
sd8787* files are not upstream yet.
