Hi Tom,

I see contradiction of drivers/base/Kconfig here i.e, If I configure DELL_RBU=y I cannot configure FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n. 
with this patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/4/327 i cannot have FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n & DELL_RBU=y at the same time. 
I'm using the latest stable upstream kernel-3.14.5.

Symbol: FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER [=y]
Type : boolean
Defined at drivers/base/Kconfig:146
Selected by: FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK [=n] && FW_LOADER [=y] || DELL_RBU [=y] && X86 [=y]

Regards
Balaji Singh
