Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: firmware: Fix firmware loading
Date: Wed,  4 Aug 2021 01:27:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210803232746.3389570-1-linus.walleij@linaro.org> (raw)

The patch that would first try the board-specific firmware
had a bug because the fallback would not be called: the
asynchronous interface is used meaning request_firmware_nowait()
returns 0 immediately.

Harden the firmware loading like this:

- If we cannot build an alt_path (like if no board_type is
  specified) just request the first firmware without any
  suffix, like in the past.

- If the lookup of a board specific firmware fails, we get
  a NULL fw in the async callback, so just try again without
  the alt_path. Use a static variable to check that we do not
  try this indefinitely.

- Rename the brcm_fw_request_done to brcm_fw_request_done_first
  reflecting the fact that this callback is only used for the
  first (main) firmware file, and drop the unnecessary
  prototype.
