Subject: [PATCH] firmware_class: make firmware caching configurable

Because firmware caching generates uevent messages that are sent over
a netlink socket, it can prevent suspend on many platforms. It's
also not always useful, so make it a configurable option.

Shouldn't this entry go into drivers/base/firmware_loader/Kconfig
instead and depend on FW_LOADER by putting it in the correct location in
that file?

Also, no need for two blank lines.

And finally, 'default y' is only a good idea if your machine can not
boot without the option. I don't think that's the case here, correct?

default y if PM_SLEEP

Would try to enable this if PM_SLEEP was disabled. So the depends on
will force this on for all systems by default if PM_SLEEP is enabled,
which is what how this works today.

We enable this feature today by default if you have PM_SLEEP.

I am concerned about the change in user space behavior and to prevent
defconfig churn.

I think the default y would suffice given you have depends on PM_SLEEP,
however this also works. So, again:

Worried about setting FW_CACHE w/o PM_SLEEP, this enforces it.

I understand, but its an impossibility to turn on FW_CACHE without
PM_SLEEP since it depends on it. How would one do that?

However, since it makes no difference we can leave it.
