Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] firmware: few pending fixes

Greg,

this v3 series brings together two pending set of of lingering fixes I had
queued up for the firmware API [0] [1] into one series to maker it clear
in what order things should be applied. In this v3 series we just jump
ship away from swait and revert back to the good 'ol wait/completion as
you have suggested.

These changes are available on my branch 20170629-fw-fixes-wait-v3 based on
linux-next tag next-20170629 [2]. I've also tested applying them on Linus'
tree and they apply cleanly there. I've gone ahead and re-tested this series
with all the firmware selftests at tools/testing/selftests/firmware/ and things
are peachy.

If there are any questions please let me know.

Luis R. Rodriguez (4):
  firmware: fix batched requests - wake all waiters
  test_firmware: add test case for SIGCHLD on sync fallback
  firmware: avoid invalid fallback aborts by using killable wait
  firmware: send -EINTR on signal abort on fallback mechanism
