What's more, we get confusing messages, like: # echo -n notafile > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_firmware/trigger_request [ 8280.311856] test_firmware: loading 'notafile' [ 8280.317042] test_firmware: load of 'notafile' failed: -2 [ 8280.322445] test_firmware: loaded: 0 # echo $? 0 Report the failures via write() errors, and don't say we "loaded" anything.
