Hi,
I was looking at the list of firmware files in Debian's firmware-linux-free
package and found the firmware for a data acquisition unit called USBDUX. It
seems that the USBDUX drivers in Linux-libre have been deblobbed by mistake.
The firmware files (usbdux_firmware.bin, usbduxfast_firmware.bin,
usbduxsigma_firmware.bin) along with the source (GPL'd by the company) can be
found in linux-firmware.git. They can easily be compiled using the latest as31
2.3.1 (as packaged in Trisquel and other Debian-based distros) and tweaking
the makefile so that it doesn't compile its own as31 2.1. I did this and got
identical binaries.
If the deblobbing of these drivers was a mistake, please consider "un-
deblobbing" them.
