Merge tag 'driver-core-5.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core changes for 5.19-rc1.

  Lots of tiny driver core changes and cleanups happened this cycle, but
  the two major things are:

   - firmware_loader reorganization and additions including the ability
     to have XZ compressed firmware images and the ability for userspace
     to initiate the firmware load when it needs to, instead of being
     always initiated by the kernel. FPGA devices specifically want this
     ability to have their firmware changed over the lifetime of the
     system boot, and this allows them to work without having to come up
     with yet-another-custom-uapi interface for loading firmware for
     them.

   - physical location support added to sysfs so that devices that know
     this information, can tell userspace where they are located in a
     common way. Some ACPI devices already support this today, and more
     bus types should support this in the future.

  Smaller changes include:

   - driver_override api cleanups and fixes

   - error path cleanups and fixes

   - get_abi script fixes

   - deferred probe timeout changes.

  It's that last change that I'm the most worried about. It has been
  reported to cause boot problems for a number of systems, and I have a
  tested patch series that resolves this issue. But I didn't get it
  merged into my tree before 5.18-final came out, so it has not gotten
  any linux-next testing.

  I'll send the fixup patches (there are 2) as a follow-on series to this
  pull request.

  All have been tested in linux-next for weeks, with no reported issues
  other than the above-mentioned boot time-outs"

+===================
+Firmware Upload API
+===================
+
+A device driver that registers with the firmware loader will expose
+persistent sysfs nodes to enable users to initiate firmware updates for
+that device.  It is the responsibility of the device driver and/or the
+device itself to perform any validation on the data received. Firmware
+upload uses the same *loading* and *data* sysfs files described in the
+documentation for firmware fallback. It also adds additional sysfs files
+to provide status on the transfer of the firmware image to the device.
+
+Register for firmware upload
+============================
+
+A device driver registers for firmware upload by calling
+firmware_upload_register(). Among the parameter list is a name to
+identify the device under /sys/class/firmware. A user may initiate a
+firmware upload by echoing a 1 to the *loading* sysfs file for the target
+device. Next, the user writes the firmware image to the *data* sysfs
+file. After writing the firmware data, the user echos 0 to the *loading*
+sysfs file to signal completion. Echoing 0 to *loading* also triggers the
+transfer of the firmware to the lower-lever device driver in the context
+of a kernel worker thread.
+
+To use the firmware upload API, write a driver that implements a set of
+ops.  The probe function calls firmware_upload_register() and the remove
+function calls firmware_upload_unregister() such as::
+
+	static const struct fw_upload_ops m10bmc_ops = {
+		.prepare = m10bmc_sec_prepare,
+		.write = m10bmc_sec_write,
+		.poll_complete = m10bmc_sec_poll_complete,
+		.cancel = m10bmc_sec_cancel,
+		.cleanup = m10bmc_sec_cleanup,
+	};
+
+	static int m10bmc_sec_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
+	{
+		const char *fw_name, *truncate;
+		struct m10bmc_sec *sec;
+		struct fw_upload *fwl;
+		unsigned int len;
+
+		sec = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*sec), GFP_KERNEL);
+		if (!sec)
+			return -ENOMEM;
+
+		sec->dev = &pdev->dev;
+		sec->m10bmc = dev_get_drvdata(pdev->dev.parent);
+		dev_set_drvdata(&pdev->dev, sec);
+
+		fw_name = dev_name(sec->dev);
+		truncate = strstr(fw_name, ".auto");
+		len = (truncate) ? truncate - fw_name : strlen(fw_name);
+		sec->fw_name = kmemdup_nul(fw_name, len, GFP_KERNEL);
+
+		fwl = firmware_upload_register(sec->dev, sec->fw_name, &m10bmc_ops, sec);
+		if (IS_ERR(fwl)) {
+			dev_err(sec->dev, "Firmware Upload driver failed to start\n");
+			kfree(sec->fw_name);
+			return PTR_ERR(fwl);
+		}
+
+		sec->fwl = fwl;
+		return 0;
+	}
+
+	static int m10bmc_sec_remove(struct platform_device *pdev)
+	{
+		struct m10bmc_sec *sec = dev_get_drvdata(&pdev->dev);
+
+		firmware_upload_unregister(sec->fwl);
+		kfree(sec->fw_name);
+		return 0;
+	}

+
+Sysfs Attributes
+================
+
+In addition to the *loading* and *data* sysfs files, there are additional
+sysfs files to monitor the status of the data transfer to the target
+device and to determine the final pass/fail status of the transfer.
+Depending on the device and the size of the firmware image, a firmware
+update could take milliseconds or minutes.
+
+The additional sysfs files are:
+
+* status - provides an indication of the progress of a firmware update
+* error - provides error information for a failed firmware update
+* remaining_size - tracks the data transfer portion of an update
+* cancel - echo 1 to this file to cancel the update
