Greg, Here is what I have queued up for the firmware_loader for v4.18. It includes a slew of cleanup work, and the new firmware_request_nowarn() which is quiet but enables the sysfs fallback mechanism. I've gone ahead and also queued up a few minor fixes for the firmware loader documentation which have come up recently. These changes are available on my git tree both based on linux-next [0] and Linus' latest tree [1]. Folks working on new developments for the firmware loader can use my linux-next branch 20180508-firmware_loader_for-v4.18-try2 for now.
0-day sends its blessings. The patches from Mimi's series still require a bit more discussion and review. The discussion over the EFI firmware fallback mechanism is still ongoing. As for the rename that you wanted, perhaps we can do this late in the merge window considering we're at rc4 now. I can prep something up for that later. Question, and specially rants are warmly welcomed.
