Changes in v11:
- Drop a few empty lines which were accidentally introduced

But you didn't address my other feedback.

I mentioned this in my last review, and it seems you forgot to address
this.

I did address this in my reply to your review, as explained there,
the check + free on test_firmware before calling firmware_request_platform()
is necessary because test_firmware may be non NULL when entering
the function (continued below) ...

But now some more feedback:

These two:

+	mutex_lock(&test_fw_mutex);
+	release_firmware(test_firmware);

You are doing this because this is a test, but a typical driver will
do this after, and we don't loose anything in doing this after. Can you
move the mutex lock and assign the pointer to a temporary used pointer
for the call, *after* your call.

But since your test is not using any interfaces to query information
about the firmware, and you are just doing the test in C code right
away, instead of say, using a trigger for later use in userspace,
you can just do away with the mutex lock and make the call use its
own pointer:

	rc = firmware_request_platform(&tmp_test_firmware, name, dev);
	if (rc) {
		...
	}
	/* Your test branch code goes here */

I see no reason why you use the test_firmware pointer.

I agree that using a private/local firmware pointer instead of
test_firmware and dropping the mutex calls is better. I will make
this change for v12 of this series.

I'll send out a v12 once the remarks from Andy Lutomirski's
have also been discussed.

Regards,

Hans
