2017-06-03firmware: add sanity check on shutdown/suspendLuis R. Rodriguez
The firmware API should not be used after we go to suspend and after we reboot/halt. The suspend/resume case is a bit complex, so this documents that so things are clearer. We want to know about users of the API in incorrect places so that their callers are corrected, so this also adds a warn for those cases. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

2017-01-11firmware: revamp firmware documentationLuis R. Rodriguez
Understanding this code is getting out of control without any notes. Give the firmware_class driver a much needed documentation love, and while at it convert it to the new sphinx documentation format. v2: typos and small fixes Signed-off-by: Luis R.
