Martin - as far as I can tell, usage of the MODULE_FIRMWARE() macro in the b43 and b43legacy kernel drivers is just wrong. In order for the module information to be correctly displayed, the value passed to MODULE_FIRMWARE() must be fully instantiated at compile time.

Tim, do you think it's possible to fix this by beta-1, so that we have enough time to test/fix jockey after that?
