current cvs status of aic7xxx "build firmware"

["D. Stimits" <stimits@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I remember quite a while back the need to choose the "build firmware" on
aic7xxx, and lots of kernel config headaches for the SGI people with
regards to generated versus permanent files in the source tree. The FAQ
still says build firmware is needed for aic7xxx, but somewhere I vaguely
recall this might have changed. Is it still recommended or required to
build firmware? Or is this no longer the case, with the FAQ being
outdated?
