Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [Low] The newly added "firmware-duplicate" sysfs error string is omitted from the sysfs ABI documentation and the corresponding selftest script.

firmware_loader: expand firmware error codes with up-to-date error

This commit adds FW_UPLOAD_ERR_DUPLICATE to allow drivers to signal
that a firmware update is not required. It also updates the error
strings in the core sysfs interface and the test firmware module.

[Severity: Low]
Since firmware-duplicate is now exposed to userspace, should it also
be documented in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-firmware? The
existing documentation lists the other expected error strings but is
missing this one.

Additionally, does this require an update to the selftests? Looking at
tools/testing/selftests/firmware/fw_upload.sh, the errors list is
hardcoded:

errors="hw-error
	timeout
	device-busy
	invalid-file-size
	read-write-error
	flash-wearout"

Without adding firmware-duplicate to this list, the new error injection
capability added to lib/test_firmware.c might not be exercised by the
test suite.
