Subject: [PATCH 0/4] firmware_class: few small code shifts

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

Ming, Greg,

this patch set consists of a few small code shifts which would make
it easier to add extensible firmware API code, and later firmware
signing support. This patch set is being sent out separately as it
does not contain any controversial changes. It should also help
with readibility of the code.

I'll be Cc'ing linux-doc, linux-security-module, and keyring folks as the
next patch sets would start slowly diving into the topic of firmware signing
and extending documentation, and those patches will depend on this set.

There is a superfluous else branch on patch #3, its not needed because of
the goto statement but we leave that in place to make patch #4 easier to
read.

David Howells (2):
  firmware: fold successful fw read early
  firmware: generalize reading file contents as a helper

Luis R. Rodriguez (2):
  firmware: generalize "firmware" as "system data" helpers
  firmware: move completing fw into a helper
