Lukas Middendorf reported a situation where a driver's
request_firmware() call on resume caused a stall. Upon
inspection the issue was that the driver in question was
calling request_firmware() only on resume, and since we
currently do not have a generic kernel VFS freeze / thaw
solution in place we are allowing races for filesystems
to race against the disappearance of a block device, and
this is presently an issue which can lead to a stall.

It is difficult to reproduce this unless you have hardware
which mimics this setup. So to test this setup, let's just
implement support for doing these wacky things. This lets
us test that corner case easily as follows.

The resume test functionality added to test_firmware works as intended in reproducing the stall bug I reported.

However, the fw_test_resume.sh seems to be incomplete.

+usage()
+{
+	echo "Usage: $0 [ -v ] | [ -h | --help]"
+	echo ""
+	echo "    --check-resume-test   Verify resume test"
+	echo "    -h|--help             Help"
+	echo
+	echo "Without any arguments this will enable the resume firmware test"
+	echo "after suspend. To verify that the test went well, run with -v".
+	echo
+	exit 1
+}

The "-v" is not implemented as an alias to "--check-resume-test"

+
+verify_resume_test()
+{
+	trap "test_finish" EXIT
+}

Does not seem to do anything regarding checking, just some cleanup.

+
+parse_args()
+{
+	if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
+		config_enable_resume_test
+	else
+		if [[ "$1" = "--check-resume-test" ]]; then
+			config_disable_resume_test
+			verify_resume_test
+		else
+			usage
+		fi
+	fi
+}
+

there should likely be a call

parse_args "$@"

+exit 0
