But there is no need to select 535 only, if you only have 535 firmware you can't get the initramfs having 535 + 570 firmware. The problem is when the distro has 535 + 570, you want to let them say that and drop 535. Nobody needs 535 only as an option, so it confuses people to provide it. > > > The options we have in the current driver, is you get 535 + 570, and > > we give you the option to say I only need 570.

We just add the exact same option when we merge 580 support, I'm not sure what future proofing we would need, the option isn't that much work. Dave.
