The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 0d6434e10b5377a006f6dd995c8fc5e2d82acddc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anirudh Rayabharam Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2021 14:21:06 +0530 Subject: firmware_loader: use -ETIMEDOUT instead of -EAGAIN in fw_load_sysfs_fallback The only motivation for using -EAGAIN in commit 0542ad88fbdd81bb ("firmware loader: Fix _request_firmware_load() return val for fw load abort") was to distinguish the error from -ENOMEM, and so there is no real reason in keeping it. -EAGAIN is typically used to tell the userspace to try something again and in this case re-using the sysfs loading interface cannot be retried when a timeout happens, so the return value is also bogus. -ETIMEDOUT is received when the wait times out and returning that is much more telling of what the reason for the failure was. So, just propagate that instead of returning -EAGAIN.
