firmware: split firmware fallback functionality into its own file The firmware fallback code is optional. Split that code out to help distinguish the fallback functionlity from othere core firmware loader features. This should make it easier to maintain and review code changes. The reason for keeping the configuration onto a table which is built-in if you enable firmware loading is so that we can later enable the kernel after subsequent patches to tweak this configuration, even if the firmware loader is modular. This introduces no functional changes. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <mcgrof@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

firmware: wrap FW_OPT_* into an enum This should let us associate enum kdoc to these values. While at it, kdocify the fw_opt.

firmware: enable run time change of forcing fallback loader Currently one requires to test four kernel configurations to test the firmware API completely: 0) CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y 1) o CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y 2) o CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK=y 3) When CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m the built-in stuff is disabled, we have no current tests for this. We can reduce the requirements to three kernel configurations by making fw_config.force_sysfs_fallback a proc knob we flip on off. For kernels that disable CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC this can also enable one to inspect if CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK was enabled at build time by checking the proc value at boot time.

firmware: enable to force disable the fallback mechanism at run time You currently need four different kernel builds to test the firmware API fully. By adding a proc knob to force disable the fallback mechanism completely we are able to reduce the amount of kernels you need built to test the firmware API down to two.
