Subject: [PATCH v3 4/8] firmware_loader: Add firmware-upload support
Date:   Mon, 18 Apr 2022 15:37:49 -0700

Extend the firmware subsystem to support a persistent sysfs interface that
userspace may use to initiate a firmware update. For example, FPGA based
PCIe cards load firmware and FPGA images from local FLASH when the card
boots. The images in FLASH may be updated with new images provided by the
user at his/her convenience.

A device driver may call firmware_upload_register() to expose persistent
"loading" and "data" sysfs files. These files are used in the same way as
the fallback sysfs "loading" and "data" files. When 0 is written to
"loading" to complete the write of firmware data, the data is transferred
to the lower-level driver using pre-registered call-back functions. The
data transfer is done in the context of a kernel worker thread.

---
v1:
  - renamed fw_upload_register() and fw_upload_unregister() to
    firmware_upload_register() and fw_upload_unregister().
  - Moved ifdef'd section of code out of firmware_loading_store() in sysfs.c
    into a new function, fw_upload_start(), in sysfs_upload.c.
  - Changed #defines to enums for error codes and progress states
  - Added additional kernel-doc supported symbols into the documentation.
    Some rewording in documentation as well.
  - Added module reference counting for the parent module in the
    firmware_upload_register() and firmware_upload_unregister() functions
    to fix problems found when testing with test_firmware module.
  - Removed unnecessary module reference counting for THIS_MODULE. This
    module holds a reference count for the parent module, and the parent
    module has symbol dependencies on this module.
v2:   
  - Updated documentation Date and KernelVersion fields to July 2022
    and 5.19.
  - Unconditionally set fw_priv->is_paged_buf to true in
    firmware_upload_register();
v3:
  - Added Reviewed-by tag
  - Added kdoc support for enum fw_upload_prog progress codes

+===================
+Firmware Upload API
+===================
+
+A device driver that registers with the firmware loader will expose
+persistent sysfs nodes to enable users to initiate firmware updates for
+that device.  It is the responsibility of the device driver and/or the
+device itself to perform any validation on the data received. Firmware
+upload uses the same *loading* and *data* sysfs files described in the
+documentation for firmware fallback.
+
+Register for firmware upload
+============================
+
+A device driver registers for firmware upload by calling
+firmware_upload_register(). Among the parameter list is a name to
+identify the device under /sys/class/firmware. A user may initiate a
+firmware upload by echoing a 1 to the *loading* sysfs file for the target
+device. Next, the user writes the firmware image to the *data* sysfs
+file. After writing the firmware data, the user echos 0 to the *loading*
+sysfs file to signal completion. Echoing 0 to *loading* also triggers the
+transfer of the firmware to the lower-lever device driver in the context
+of a kernel worker thread.
+
+To use the firmware upload API, write a driver that implements a set of
+ops.  The probe function calls firmware_upload_register() and the remove
+function calls firmware_upload_unregister() such as::
+
+	static const struct fw_upload_ops m10bmc_ops = {
+		.prepare = m10bmc_sec_prepare,
+		.write = m10bmc_sec_write,
+		.poll_complete = m10bmc_sec_poll_complete,
+		.cancel = m10bmc_sec_cancel,
+		.cleanup = m10bmc_sec_cleanup,
+	};
+
+	static int m10bmc_sec_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
+	{
+		const char *fw_name, *truncate;
+		struct m10bmc_sec *sec;
+		struct fw_upload *fwl;
+		unsigned int len;
+
+		sec = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*sec), GFP_KERNEL);
+		if (!sec)
+			return -ENOMEM;
+
+		sec->dev = &pdev->dev;
+		sec->m10bmc = dev_get_drvdata(pdev->dev.parent);
+		dev_set_drvdata(&pdev->dev, sec);
+
+		fw_name = dev_name(sec->dev);
+		truncate = strstr(fw_name, ".auto");
+		len = (truncate) ? truncate - fw_name : strlen(fw_name);
+		sec->fw_name = kmemdup_nul(fw_name, len, GFP_KERNEL);
+
+		fwl = firmware_upload_register(sec->dev, sec->fw_name, &m10bmc_ops, sec);
+		if (IS_ERR(fwl)) {
+			dev_err(sec->dev, "Firmware Upload driver failed to start\n");
+			kfree(sec->fw_name);
+			return PTR_ERR(fwl);
+		}
+
+		sec->fwl = fwl;
+		return 0;
+	}
+
+	static int m10bmc_sec_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
+	{
+		struct m10bmc_sec *sec = dev_get_drvdata(&pdev->dev);
+
+		firmware_upload_unregister(sec->fwl);
+		kfree(sec->fw_name);
+		return 0;
