firmware: fix __getname() missing failure check
The request_firmware*() APIs uses __getname() to iterate over the list of paths possible for firmware to be found, the code however never checked for failure on __getname(). Although *very unlikely*, this can still happen. Add the missing check. There is still no checks on the concatenation of the path and filename passed, that requires a bit more work and subsequent patches address this. The commit that introduced this is abb139e7 ("firmware: teach the kernel to load firmware files directly from the filesystem"). mcgrof@ergon ~/linux (git::firmware-fixes) $ git describe --contains abb139e7 v3.7-rc1~120 Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Luis R.
