14 Yes, there is a change to drop the target rule ‘firmware_install’ [1].
15 I’ve noticed also [2] but in the end it seems the rule is finally
16 dropped:
17
18 /usr/src/linux-4.12.12-gentoo/scripts/Makefile.fwinst ... exists
19 /usr/src/linux-4.14.4-gentoo/scripts/Makefile.fwinst ... no such file
20
21 To check it’s there look for ‘Other generic targets’ in kernel dir:
22
23 sudo make help
24
25 or just grep:
26
27 grep -q 'firmware_install' /usr/src/linux/Makefile
28
