[gentoo-dev] [PATCH] kernel-2.eclass: Fix LICENSE for Linux 4.14 and later.

[Ulrich Müller]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1741 bytes --]

Starting with version 4.14, the whole firmware tree has been dropped
from the kernel:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b38923a068c10fc36ca8f596d650d095ce390b85
Therefore including "linux-firmware" in LICENSE is no longer accurate.
