[RFC v3 1/2] firmware: generalize reading file contents as a helper

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxx>

We'll want to reuse this same code later in order to
read two separate types of file contents. Although we
can simplify fw_read_file_contents() to do a direct
return we leave a bit of boilerplate code to make the
next changes easier to review. In this case we'll
later extend the firmware specific read to also go
and fetch the signature file when required.

This commit introduces no functional changes.
