Romain, All,

On 2021-01-17 14:31 +0100, Romain Naour spake thusly:

At first, I was going to suggest that we should insteaddrop the separate
firmware-imx package, and keep just linux-firmware.

But as explained in the thread you pointed in the commit log (👍),
firmware-imx also has firmwares for older CPUs, so I've added that as a
justification why we keep it and not the option from linux-firmware.

Applied to master, thanks.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
