Subject: [PATCH vRFC 0/8] Refactor and rename request firmware API

This came as an idea, when i was looking for nowarn version
of request_firmware_into_buf() but ended up doing this.

I am keeping this as RFC, as i am not sure whether we are
open for such changes in API or some refactors.
Please provide feedback.

Mukesh Ojha (8):
  firmware_loader: Refactor request firmware lower level functions
  treewide: rename firmware_request_nowarn()
  treewide: rename firmware_request_platform()
  treewide: rename firmware_request_cache()
  firmware: Convert minor inline function to macro
  firmware: Move module template to the bottom
  firmware: remove prototype of fw_cache_piggyback_on_request()
  firmware: FW_OPT_UEVENT for all request_firmware family functions
