Hello,

the i.MX7 has complex DMA controller (SDMA) which needs a firmware

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/imx/sdma/sdma-imx7d.bin

under this license (non-BSD)

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/LICENSE.sdma_firmware

You can generate a firmware source file with this libbsd provided script:

./firmware-gen.py -l LICENSE.sdma_firmware sdma_fw sdma-imx7d.bin 
sdma-imx7d.c

What do we want to do with such files? Without this firmware you cannot 
use the DMA controller on this platform.
