Move the README.txt creation from generate_firmware_patterns to its
caller, so that it's done just once, and so that added blocks are
counted properly.
Initially it was interesting to pass “--package ALL” to create *.patterns
files for all packages found in the specified Components-* file(s), but
make_disc_trees.pl uses a call per package, so drop support for looping.
Remember whether modalias information was found for the requested package,
and only apply the firmware-sof-signed workaround when that's indeed the
requested package and when modalias information wasn't found (in case that
gets added to DEP-11 metadata at some point in the future). When using the
workaround, include a reminder in the logs.
The output directory's presence is the caller's responsibility; while
it might have been useful during development, actual builds require
make_disc_trees.pl to keep track of blocks getting added, so let it
take care of fulfilling prerequisites.
Update comments:
- Bump linux-image package to the latest found in bullseye.
- Include snd-soc-sof.*\.ko in the lookup.
- Delete the TODO: the list was built using snd-soc-sof*.ko already,
since a80f013b57.
The source code doesn't use the MODULE_FIRMWARE() macro so the machinery
implemented in src:firmware-nonfree wouldn't help. Extract alias info
manually once, and make note to keep an eye on further updates (e.g. via
a crontab on d-i.debian.org).
