Surface Product firmware IPTS, i915, mrvl and mwifiex - Firmware for Surface products

On my Linux computer I compiled the Surface Pro 3 firmware right into the kernel it's 14 MB. Now I have done the next best thing for Android-x86 the kernel loads firmware from /system/etc/firmware at boot so it acts as a hotplug for the device. Prime OS 7.1 doesn't have IPTS kernel modules but if you load the correct firmware a module isn't necessary. The ipts firmware varies from model to model same with the i915 firmware the only common firmware for the models is mrvl and mwifiex.

ipts firmware is in the wrong location and i dont think it works for surface pro 4 and higer as you need a kernel that supports it and the firmware is in the wrong location

aka here is how i know its wrong: https://web.archive.org/web/2020060.../Bliss OS/installation-guide-surface-devices/

Android loads extra firmware at boot in this directory /system/etc/firmware the firmware is in a differnt directory because there is no module. You still need the surface kernel for the ipts because it's patched.
Surface Pro 4 and up only has ipts the 3 and the 2 have a generic touchscreen driver.
