Subject: [PATCH v6 0/5] firmware: add driver data API

Greg,

Based on popular demand this v6 folds the new API ontop of the old API
and keeps the old schedule_work() async mechanism. It also added more
functionality to demo the real value to the flexible API. This goes
tested on 0-day, and using the existing and new tests provided. These
patches are based on next-20170329.

This series depends on the series which moves the UMH locks onto the
fallback code which I also just sent. If you want this in tree form
you can get it all here:
