From: Andres Rodriguez <andre...@gmail.com> Currently the firmware loader only exposes one silent path for querying optional firmware, and that is firmware_request_direct(). This function also disables the sysfs fallback mechanism, which might not always be the desired behaviour [0].
This patch introduces a variations of request_firmware() that enable the caller to disable the undesired warning messages but enables the sysfs fallback mechanism. This is equivalent to adding FW_OPT_NO_WARN to the old behaviour. [0]: https://git.kernel.org/linus/c0cc00f250e1 Signed-off-by: Andres Rodriguez <andre...@gmail.com> Acked-by: Luis R.
