Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 11/13] driver core: firmware: introduce
 devices_cache/uncache_firmwares

I kinda don't like the plural of firmware: "firmwares". Can we call
those
	device_cache_fw_images
	device_uncache_fw_images

or
	device_cache_fw_blobs

or whatever?

Comment above the list_head and maybe call the list_head fw_names or so?

Maybe fw_cache_entry?

AFAICT kstrdup already copies the existing string, why do you need to
strcpy it again?

Invert check logic to save an indentation level:

	if (ret)
		goto free;

	nc = alloc...

	...

 free:
 	kfree(curr_name);

Same thing here: maybe check if on the last element on the list and
don't grab the lock then?

checkpatch says here:

WARNING: externs should be avoided in .c files
#181: FILE: drivers/base/firmware_class.c:1118:
+extern struct list_head dpm_list;

and I think it is correct. AFAICT, it should be included from
<drivers/base/power/power.h>...

This is a one looong sentence. Please simplify.

No real need for that debug printk since you have one below.
