Greg,

Here is what I have queued up for the firmware_loader for v4.18. It
includes a slew of cleanup work, and the new firmware_request_nowarn()
which is quiet but enables the sysfs fallback mechanism. I've gone ahead
and also queued up a few minor fixes for the firmware loader documentation
which have come up recently. These changes are available on my git tree
both based on linux-next [0] and Linus' latest tree [1]. Folks working
on new developments for the firmware loader can use my linux-next
branch 20180508-firmware_loader_for-v4.18-try2 for now.

0-day sends its blessings.

The patches from Mimi's series still require a bit more discussion and
review. The discussion over the EFI firmware fallback mechanism is still
ongoing.

As for the rename that you wanted, perhaps we can do this late in the
merge window considering we're at rc4 now. I can prep something up for
that later.

Question, and specially rants are warmly welcomed.
I sent some typo catches, but with those fixed, please consider the
whole series:
