Subject: [PATCH] firmware_class: encapsulate firmware loading status

From: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@...-carit.de>

The firmware user helper code tracks the current state of the loading
process via an member of struct firmware_buf and a completion. Let's
encapsulate this simple state machine into struct fw_status. The aim is
to encrease readiblity and reduce the usage of the fw_lock.

The fw_lock is not needed to protect the status update anymore. We don't
do any RMW operations. Instead we just do a write or a read, not both at
the same time.

Hi,

In [0] we have a discussion on how the firmware_class API might be
changed to improve the current handling of firmware loading. This
patch was part of the orignal RFC which triggered the discussion.

I think it is worth taking this one anyway. Maybe as I suggested it
could be part of the series from Luis.

It cleans up the code base (okay my opinion) and removes the
complete_all() call which is problematic for -rt. complete_all() can
be used in any context including IRQ. That could lead to unbounded
work in the IRQ context and that is a no go for -rt. So here the
attempt to reduce the number of complete_all() calls where possible. I
have left this argument out in the commit message because I was told
'-rt' arguments don't count for inclusion.

cheers,
daniel
