Subject: [PATCH 2/5] misc: fs_loader: reorganize and split to FS and FW loader
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 14:29:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303132916.5502-3-ansuelsmth@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260303132916.5502-1-ansuelsmth@gmail.com>
In preparation to the introduction of variant of the FS loader,
reorganize and split the driver to generic fw_loader function and
specific fs_loader function. Create a dedicated directory for the loader
and move the internal structs and functions to a dedicated header file.
This will permit to reuse all the property and logic of FS loader
with container that are not exactly a readable filesystem.
