The pretty much brings in the kitchen sink along
with it, so it should be avoided wherever reasonably possible in
terms of being included from other commonly used
files, as it results in a measureable increase on compile times.The worst culprit was probably device.h since it is used everywhere.
This file also had an implicit dependency/usage of mutex.h which was
masked by module.h, and is also fixed here at the same time.There are over a dozen other headers that simply declare the
struct instead of pulling in the whole file, so follow their lead
and simply make it a few more.Most of the implicit dependencies on module.h being present by
these headers pulling it in have been now weeded out, so we can
finally make this change with hopefully minimal breakage.Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

Some place in firmware_class.c using "int uevent" define, but others use "bool

fix memory leak introduced by the patch 6e03a201bbe:
firmware: speed up request_firmware()1. vfree won't release pages there were allocated explicitly and mapped
using vmap. The memory has to be vunmap-ed and the pages needs
to be freed explicitly2. page array is moved into the 'struct
firmware' so that we can free it from release_firmware()
and not only in fw_dev_release()The fix doesn't break the firmware load speed.

Unfortunately, one cannot hold on to the struct firmware
that request_firmware_nowait() hands off, which is needed
in some cases. Allow this by requiring the callback to
free it (via release_firmware).Additionally, give it a gfp_t parameter -- all the current
users call it from a GFP_KERNEL context so the GFP_ATOMIC
isn't necessary. This also marks an API break which is
useful in a sense, although that is obviously not the
primary purpose of this change.Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

As we're allocating the firmware name dynamically, we no longer need this

This patch must be applied only after the 5 previous patches from this pacth

Some drivers have their own hacks to bypass the kernel's firmware loader
and build their firmware into the kernel; this renders those unnecessary.Other drivers don't use the firmware loader at all, because they always
want the firmware to be available. This allows them to start using the
firmware loader.A third set of drivers already use the firmware loader, but can't be
used without help from userspace, which sometimes requires an initrd.
This allows them to work in a static kernel.Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

In preparation for supporting firmware files linked into the static
kernel, make fw->data const to ensure that users aren't modifying it (so
that we can pass a pointer to the original in-kernel copy, rather than
having to copy it).Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

libsas has a case where it uses the firmware loader to provide services,
but doesn't want to select it all the time. This currently causes a
compile failure in libsas if FW_LOADER=n. Fix this by providing error
stubs for the firmware loader API in the FW_LOADER=n case.Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
