Subject: [PATCH 2/2] firmware_loader: builtin: fail build on empty firmware
Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 21:30:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260426043041.649202-2-dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260426043041.649202-1-dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>

If an empty firmware file is supplied via CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE, the
build currently succeeds but creates an empty section. While the
firmware loader will not return such sections it is better to avoid
adding them in the first place.

Add a compile-time size check to the filechk_fwbin macro to abort the
build early if a 0-size firmware is encountered.
