Subject: [PATCH V5 1/2] firmware: add more flexible request_firmware_async function
From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@...ecki.pl>
So far we got only one function for loading firmware asynchronously:
request_firmware_nowait. It didn't allow much customization of firmware
loading process - there is only one bool uevent argument. Moreover this
bool also controls user helper in an unclear way.
Some drivers need more flexible helper providing more options. This
includes control over uevent or warning for the missing firmware. Of
course this list may grow up in the future.
To handle this easily this patch adds a generic request_firmware_async
function. It takes struct with options as an argument which will allow
extending it in the future without massive changes.
This is a really cheap change (no new independent API) which works
nicely with the existing code. The old request_firmware_nowait is kept
as a simple helper calling new helper.
Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@...ecki.pl>

V3: Don't expose all FW_OPT_* flags.
As Luis noted we want a struct so add struct firmware_opts for real
flexibility.
Thank you Luis for your review!
V5: Rebase, update commit message, resend after drvdata discussion
