This came as an idea, when i was looking for nowarn version
of request_firmware_into_buf() but ended up doing this.
I am keeping this as RFC, as i am not sure whether we are
open for such changes in API or some refactors.
Please provide feedback.
Mukesh Ojha (8):
firmware_loader: Refactor request firmware lower level functions
treewide: rename firmware_request_nowarn()
treewide: rename firmware_request_platform()
treewide: rename firmware_request_cache()
firmware: Convert minor inline function to macro
firmware: Move module template to the bottom
firmware: remove prototype of fw_cache_piggyback_on_request()
firmware: FW_OPT_UEVENT for all request_firmware family functions

Currently, FW_OPT_UEVENT is used in almost every request_firmware
family function apart from request_firmware_nowait(), however,
request_firmware_nowait() uses much lower level api which does
not assume FW_OPT_UEVENT to be a default flag.
Apply FW_OPT_UEVENT as default flag.

We should always try to avoid using prototype of a static
function like fw_cache_piggyback_on_request() firmware
main file. Move the relevant code in such a way that avoid
the prototype usage.

Sorry, but no, it should be "noun_verb" for public functions.
Yes, we mess this up a lot, but keeping the namespace this way works out
better for global symbols, so "firmware_*" is best please.

You lost good error messages if you pass in the wrong pointer :(
There is a good reason to convert this type of function to a macro, but
you aren't using that here, so I'm not going to tell you why it would be
ok :)

We should certainly stick to *one* pattern, for the better, and it
occurs to me we could further review this with a coccinelle python
script for public functions, checking the first two elements of a public
function for noun and verb.

Not really, but searching makes it nicer.

Changing the existing function names for no real reason isn't probably a
good idea, nor worth it. The firmware_* function prefix is good, let's
keep it please.
If you really wanted to be picky, we should make them part of a module
namespace too :)

Sticking to *any* convention is good, so longa as we decide on one, it
used to be hard to have tidy rules to do this sort of stuff but with
coccinelle we should be able to grow these rules and ensure we stick
to it for the good for new stuff.

Go for it. I just also think we might as well document from the learnt
lessons, and our preference, instead of making this just one developer's
personal preference because the moon made them feel a different way than
two years ago. From my part it is best we *strive* to stick to one
convention, whatever it is. As for the *why* to document this, I suspect
it allows easier namespace grep'ing for symbols related to one thing or
another, as to why it shoudl go first, I'll let Greg chime in.
Long term I see value in having anything we decide to stick to, to make it
easier for debugging heuristics.
