I think we'd better to split code and documents into different patches
for easier reviews.

You can add links:

  * `request_firmware API`_ - old firmware API
  * `driver_data API`_ - flexible API

  .. _`request_firmware API`: ./request_firmware.rst

It looks a bit weird to me that a failure callback is called
only if "optional" is set. I think that it makes more sense
that a failure callback is always called if _request_firmware() fails.

In addition, why not always return a return value of _request_firmare()?
Overwriting a return value by any of callback functions doesn't make sense,
particularly, in "sync" case.
One of the problems in this implementation is that we, drivers, have
no chance to know a return value of _request_firmware().
For example, if the signature verification, which I'm now working on, fails,
ENOKEY or EKEYxxx will be returns. We may want to say more detailed
error messages depending on error code.

More features are added, more 'boolean' are added.
(I mean it wastes memory.)
