I find it odd that there is apparently no central way to track which firmwares are being loaded without a debugging kernel. The relevant messages in linux/drivers/base/firmware_loader/main.c are all dev_dbg(), which as I understand does nothing on a non-debug kernel. Even the message printed when the firmware file is missing is of that type. I guess I could turn on the userspace helper, set it to some script that just logs every request and fails, and then remove the whole /lib/firmware tree, but that is a _really_ round-about way. -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
