Subject: [PATCH 1/2] firmware_loader: builtin: ignore 0-size firmware
Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 21:30:38 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260426043041.649202-1-dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> (raw)
Currently, the builtin firmware loader allows 0-size firmware to be
returned successfully to drivers. This differs from all other loading
mechanisms (filesystem, sysfs fallback) which reject 0-byte files, and
forces drivers to add boilerplate size checks.
Modify firmware_request_builtin() to reject 0-size firmware. This will
also result in firmware loader falling back to other mechanisms if an
empty built-in firmware is present.
