Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] soundwire: debugfs: replace writable string helper
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 16:48:53 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806084854.1019789-3-chenyichong@uniontech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260806084854.1019789-1-chenyichong@uniontech.com>
debugfs_create_str() is being made read-only because its generic write path
is hard to make safe without adding more locking to the helper.
Convert the SoundWire firmware_file entry to a local write-only file
operation before removing writable string support from
debugfs_create_str().
Copy the firmware name before request_firmware() so later debugfs writes
cannot replace the string while it is being used.
