Description Nicola Smaniotto 2022-02-15 18:06:58 UTC 
Since the package offers support for many Broadcom cards, it would be nice to support the savedconfig flag and install only the needed files, as it is done in sys-kernel/linux-firmware.

On-disk installed size is 4 MiB, FWIW.

I don't see any advantages on using savedconfig on such small size. I've added compressed firmware support, and now installed package even smaller:

# equery s sys-firmware/broadcom-bt-firmware
 * sys-firmware/broadcom-bt-firmware-12.0.1.1105_p4-r1
         Total files : 123
         Total size  : 2.69 MiB
