Even the documentation for PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD is a bit fuzzy and how it fits into this big picture. Give the FW_LOADER kconfig documentation some love with more up to date developments and recommendations. While at it, wrap the FW_LOADER code into its own menu to compartamentalize and make it clearer which components really are part of the FW_LOADER. This should also make it easier to later move these kconfig entries into the firmware_loader/ directory later. This also now recommends using firmwared [0] for folks left needing a uevent handler in userspace for the sysfs firmware fallback mechanis given udev's uevent firmware mechanism was ripped out a while ago.

This can be deceiving given we could have a series of callers intertwined and it'd be unclear exactly for what firmware this was meant for. Additionally, although we don't currently use FW_OPT_NO_WARN when dealing with the fallback mechanism, we will soon, so just respect its use consistently. And even if you *don't* want to print always on failure, you may want to print when debugging so enable dynamic debug print when FW_OPT_NO_WARN is used. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

This function also disables the sysfs fallback mechanism, which might not always be the desired behaviour [0]. This patch introduces a variations of request_firmware() that enable the caller to disable the undesired warning messages but enables the sysfs fallback mechanism. This is equivalent to adding FW_OPT_NO_WARN to the old behaviour. [0]: https://git.kernel.org/linus/c0cc00f250e1 Signed-off-by: Andres Rodriguez Acked-by: Luis R.
