Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] firmware: add firmware_request_cache()

Greg,

Here are the last straggler patches to clean up what was left which you
requested and to add the new firmware_request_cache() call to fix a
corner case suspend issue.

The extra space character you found in earlier patches no longer needs
to be fixed as that assignement was replaced with a new line in later
patches which does not have the extra space in the assignment. The only
other straggler fix needed which you had pointed out was the debugfs typo.

The new API call was renamed as suggested to firmware_request_cache(),
with the API name first. I'll use a separate series to start addressing
the firmware API rename for the rest of the callers. That will take some
time as I'm running quite a bit of tests on those changes and I am going
to wait for 0-day to give me its blesssings.

Question, feedback, and specially rants are greatly appreciated.

  Luis
