Sure.. that works... Is there an ETA for these two changes?
I don't quite follow how the firmware change is supposed to work... The
firmware is currently supposed to be a noarch package, and it gets built in
the same pass as the kernel-docs sub-package, so it *shouldn't* be built in
the same pass as the kernel. Is this flag to simply override that and build
the firmware as an arch-specific package for simplified one-off builds?
