From 7dcc01343e483efda0882456f8361f061a5f416d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andres Rodriguez Date: Thu, 10 May 2018 13:08:45 -0700 Subject: firmware: add firmware_request_nowarn() - load firmware without warnings Currently the firmware loader only exposes one silent path for querying optional firmware, and that is firmware_request_direct(). This function also disables the sysfs fallback mechanism, which might not always be the desired behaviour [0]. This patch introduces a variations of request_firmware() that enable the caller to disable the undesired warning messages but enables the sysfs fallback mechanism. This is equivalent to adding FW_OPT_NO_WARN to the old behaviour. [0]: https://git.kernel.org/linus/c0cc00f250e1 Signed-off-by: Andres Rodriguez Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Acked-by: Luis R. Rodriguez [mcgrof: used the old API calls as the full rename is not done yet, and add the caller for when FW_LOADER is disabled, enhance documentation ] Signed-off-by: Luis R.
