Description:

On the standard kernel and the ZEN kernel, the dell_rbu module is not included.

# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_DELL_RBU
# CONFIG_DELL_RBU is not set

It is required to run BIOS updates and iDRAC (for servers). I am using an ArchLinux image to update BIOS and iDRAC on Dell servers and currently with every kernel update I have to build the module manually.
Are there any contraindications to enable building this module?

Maybe currently this will no longer be an problem?

I checked the latest versions of Ubuntu and Debian and both have this module compiled and the option from the above bug enabled:

CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
CONFIG_DELL_RBU=m

Checked on:

Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS (Live) - Linux 5.15.0
Debian 11.5.0 - Linux 5.10.0
