Hi there,

Version 9 review for the sysfs-class-firmware-attributes document was
submitted and I look forward  to getting your comments.   I understand
you have other things happening, but as soon as the document is
finalized, I can move to submit the rest of the files.

While the document review is ongoing,  I proceeded to address all
comments made by Thomas, Hans, Bagas, and Mark regarding both
documentation and source code changes.  The code compiles with W=1
flag without any issues and the  refactoring proposed by Thomas was
incorporated.  Testing on multiple platforms continues to validate the
driver proper operation between reviews.

Regards,

Jorge
