Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] firmware: check for possible file truncation early

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...e.com>

Instead of waiting until the last second to fail
on a request_firmware*() calls due to filename
truncation we can do an early check upon boot
and immediatley avoid any possible issues upfront.
