[PATCH 0/8] Loading optional firmware v2

[Andres Rodriguez]

Hey Everyone,

Thanks everyone for the feedback on the RFC:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/9/903

Seems like there is a general interest in this feature, so here
is a V2 of the proposal with the comments I received.

Please provide comments on the _nowait2() API. It is not my favorite,
but it seems like the ship on exposing fw_opts directly to the caller
has sailed. If anyone has a better suggestion let me know.

Also, if anyone has better suggestions for the fw_opt enum documentation
please let me know. I may have botched some of the details since I'm not
super familiar with them.

I've also included patches for the following consumer drivers:
   - amdgpu
   - ath10k
   - brcmfmac

Thanks again for your feedback.

Regards,
Andres
