[PATCH v2] brcmfmac: firmware: Fix firmware loading

From: Linus Walleij <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-04 15:36:50
Subsystem: broadcom brcm80211 ieee802.11 wireless drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Arend van Spriel, Linus Torvalds

The patch that would first try the board-specific firmware
had a bug because the fallback would not be called: the
asynchronous interface is used meaning request_firmware_nowait()
returns 0 immediately.

Harden the firmware loading like this:

- If we cannot build an alt_path (like if no board_type is
  specified) just request the first firmware without any
  suffix, like in the past.

- If the lookup of a board specific firmware fails, we get
  a NULL fw in the async callback, so just try again without
  the alt_path. Use a context state variable to check that
  we do not try this indefinitely.

- Rename the brcm_fw_request_done to brcm_fw_request_done_first
  reflecting the fact that this callback is only used for the
  first (main) firmware file, and drop the unnecessary
  prototype.

ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Instead of using a static variable, add a context variable
  "tested_board_variant"
- Collect Arend's review tag.
- Collect Tested-by from Dmitry.
