Luis, is the security_kernel_post_read_file LSM hook in
firmware_loading_store() still needed after this patch?  Should it be
calling security_kernel_load_data() instead?
That's up to Kees to decide as he added that hook, and knows
what LSMs may be doing with it. From my perspective it is confusing
to have that hook there so I think it could be removed now.

Kees?
Commit?6593d92 ("firmware_class: perform new LSM checks") references
two methods of loading firmware -??filesystem-found firmware and
demand-loaded blobs. ?I assume this call in firmware_loading_store()
is the demand-loaded blobs. ?Does that method still exist? ?Is it
still being used?

With an IMA policy requiring signed firmware, this patch prevents
the sysfs fallback method of loading firmware.
