Mark Brown 2473238eac ihex: add support for CS:IP/EIP records
ihex firmwares can include a jump address for starting execution.  Add a
-j option which will cause this to be written into the generated file as a
record with address zero and data consisting of the address to jump to,
allowing drivers to make use of this information.

This format is chosen because it most closely follows the original ihex
format, though it may make more sense to write a record with length zero
and the address stored as the address.  The records are not omitted by
default since our ihex format does not include record type information and
so including additional records may lead to confusion.

README.AddingFirmware

	DO NOT ADD FIRMWARE TO THIS DIRECTORY.
	======================================

This directory is only here to contain firmware images extracted from old
device drivers which predate the common use of request_firmware().

As we update those drivers to use request_firmware() and keep a clean
separation between code and firmware, we put the extracted firmware
here.

This directory is _NOT_ for adding arbitrary new firmware images. The
place to add those is the separate linux-firmware repository:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git

That repository contains all these firmware images which have been
extracted from older drivers, as well various new firmware images which
we were never permitted to include in a GPL'd work, but which we _have_
been permitted to redistribute under separate cover.

To submit firmware to that repository, please send either a git binary
diff or preferably a git pull request to:
      David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

Your commit should include an update to the WHENCE file clearly
identifying the licence under which the firmware is available, and
that it is redistributable. If the licence is long and involved, it's
permitted to include it in a separate file and refer to it from the
WHENCE file.

Ideally, your commit should contain a Signed-Off-By: from someone
authoritative on the licensing of the firmware in question (i.e. from
within the company that owns the code).
