Not really necessary. You may if you think that it's useful. Always add your SoB and keep SoB tags present untouched. Regards, Arend

I suggest keeping at least this part: > Partially copied from https://lore.kernel.org/all/c7b331edd65b66521a6605177d654e55051568a3.camel@toradex.com/ > > (No Signed-off-by provided in the email.

I just figured out why just adding device/chip IDs was not enough compared to what Marcel Ziswiler tried and expanded the patch from his email, to make it work. People using baords with AP6275P (eg. I did my debugging on QuartzPro64) will also be interested in how to get the firmware for AP6275P, and there are some hints for that in the above link, too. (FW filename that is in the patch for the driver doesn't match FW name as distributed by eg. SparkLAN, which makes it harder to find it just based on FW name from the code) Although it would be nice to have the firmware available in linux-firmware.

I think this is a better idea. If we get details from what linux-firmware installed we can found that it has already include the brcm firmware. Only different models from AP6275P.
