[PATCH 0/9] Loading optional firmware v4

From: Andres Rodriguez
Date: Mon Apr 23 2018 - 16:12:23 EST


Hey Everyone,

This is a trimmed down version of v3 that contains the changes for which we
have agreement. Changes that raised concern are being shifted to a followup
series, mainly changes to the async firmware API.

Inline feedback I received in these patches has also been addressed, thanks
everyone that chimed in.

I'll be following up with some proposals for the async API. Hopefully we can
end up with something that is not "the least bad" option.

This series can be found in the for-luis-v4 branch of:

Andres Rodriguez (9):
firmware: some documentation fixes
firmware: wrap FW_OPT_* into an enum
firmware: add kernel-doc for enum fw_opt

firmware: add function to load firmware without warnings v5
firmware: print firmware name on fallback path
firmware: use rename fw_sysfs_fallback to use the firmware_ prefix
