From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxx> This is a follow up to my original series that added kernel firmware signature check support. That series was split into 3 parts, one which had fixes, a second set which added firmware signature support, and a last set which provided system data firmware support as a spring cleaning effort on the firmware_class driver API. During review I've spotted even more fixes required on firmware_class, because of this and in order to help make the review easier I'm splitting the series out completely. This series only addresses fixes and enhancements for firmware_class. When reviewing these please keep in mind that one of the end goals here is to eventually add address firmware signature support, this means we want to be pretty pedantic and careful about how we handle names and files. I've removed Cc: stable notations because although they are fixes they don't really fix any reported issues even though I can trigger at least one panic on demand, I'll let Greg and others decide what patches should be merged in and trickled down to stable. Its not an easy judgement call, and because of this I've tried to split out fixes out as atomically as possible. If its of any help I think the Patch 1-2, 4, should all go in to stable while Patch 3, 5 can be considered optimizations which are not really stable fixes. Luis R.
