[PATCH v2 00/16] Range of copy-firmware/check_whence fixes

[Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

With the latest python 3.12 check_whence.py started throwing some
warnings. The more I looked around, the more loose ends and bugs reared
their (ugly) heads.

In this series:
 - check_whence.py: sort the filenames, use consistent variable names
 - check_whence.py: fix links-to-links and band them
 - editorconfig: add the config and fix the yaml+sh indentation
 - copy-firmware.sh: factor out dedup fix broken ad-hoc symlink handling
 - copy-firmware.sh: remove the hacky argument injection
 - copy-firmware.sh: warn if the destination folder is NOT empty
 - copy-firmware.sh: call ./check_whence.py and remove the dead code

The series is a mix of cosmetics (style, names), existing bug fixes and
trying loose ends. I'm happy to split it in sub-series, as per your
suggestions.

As always, input is highly appreciated. Thanks o/

To: linux-firmware@kernel.org

Changes in v2:
- Commit message tweaks
- Correct a few flipped test checks
- Rename deduplicate-firmware.sh to dedup-firmware.sh
- Change line width (editorconfig) to 90
- Properly handle destdir
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240922-misc-fixes-v1-0-8c6e52997c94@gmail.com
