Then the firmware is warranted to be - there even if "firmware hotplug userspace" is not there yet or - it doesn't yet provide the needed firmware. - Once the firmware is widely available in userspace, it can be - removed from the kernel. Or made optional (CONFIG_.*_FIRMWARE). - - In either case, if firmware hotplug support is there, it can move the - firmware out of kernel memory into the real filesystem for later - usage. - - Note: If persistence is implemented on top of initramfs, - register_firmware() may not be appropriate. - diff --git a/Documentation/firmware_class/firmware_sample_driver.c b/Documentation/firmware_class/firmware_sample_driver.c index ad3edaba4533..87feccdb5c9f 100644 --- a/Documentation/firmware_class/firmware_sample_driver.c +++ b/Documentation/firmware_class/firmware_sample_driver.c @@ -5,8 +5,6 @@ * * Sample code on how to use request_firmware() from drivers. * - * Note that register_firmware() is currently useless. - * */ #include <linux/module.h> @@ -17,11 +15,6 @@ #include "linux/firmware.h" -#define WE_CAN_NEED_FIRMWARE_BEFORE_USERSPACE_IS_AVAILABLE -#ifdef WE_CAN_NEED_FIRMWARE_BEFORE_USERSPACE_IS_AVAILABLE -char __init inkernel_firmware[] = "let's say that this is firmware\n"; -#endif - static struct device ghost_device = { .bus_id = "ghost0", }; @@ -104,10 +97,6 @@ static void sample_probe_async(void) static int sample_init(void) { -#ifdef WE_CAN_NEED_FIRMWARE_BEFORE_USERSPACE_IS_AVAILABLE - register_firmware("sample_driver_fw", inkernel_firmware, - sizeof(inkernel_firmware)); -#endif device_initialize(&ghost_device); /* since there is no real hardware insertion I just call the * sample probe functions here */ diff --git a/drivers/base/firmware_class.c b/drivers/base/firmware_class.c index 472318205236..0c99ae6a3407 100644 --- a/drivers/base/firmware_class.c +++ b/drivers/base/firmware_class.c @@ -86,18 +86,9 @@ firmware_timeout_store(struct class *class, const char *buf, size_t count) static CLASS_ATTR(timeout, 0644, firmware_timeout_show, firmware_timeout_store); static void fw_class_dev_release(struct class_device *class_dev); -int firmware_class_uevent(struct class_device *dev, char **envp, - int num_envp, char *buffer, int buffer_size); -static struct class firmware_class = { - .name = "firmware", - .uevent = firmware_class_uevent, - .release = fw_class_dev_release, -}; - -int -firmware_class_uevent(struct class_device *class_dev, char **envp, - int num_envp, char *buffer, int buffer_size) +static int firmware_class_uevent(struct class_device *class_dev, char **envp, + int num_envp, char *buffer, int buffer_size) { struct firmware_priv *fw_priv = class_get_devdata(class_dev); int i = 0, len = 0; @@ -116,6 +107,12 @@ firmware_class_uevent(struct class_device *class_dev, char **envp, return 0; } +static struct class firmware_class = { + .name = "firmware", + .uevent = firmware_class_uevent, + .release = fw_class_dev_release, +}; + static ssize_t firmware_loading_show(struct class_device *class_dev, char *buf) { @@ -493,25 +490,6 @@ release_firmware(const struct firmware *fw) } } -/** - * register_firmware: - provide a firmware image for later usage - * @name: name of firmware image file - * @data: buffer pointer for the firmware image - * @size: size of the data buffer area - * - * Make sure that @data will be available by requesting firmware @name. - * - * Note: This will not be possible until some kind of persistence - * is available. - **/ -void -register_firmware(const char *name, const u8 *data, size_t size) -{ - /* This is meaningless without firmware caching, so until we - * decide if firmware caching is reasonable just leave it as a - * noop */ -} - /* Async support */ struct firmware_work { struct work_struct work; @@ -630,4 +608,3 @@ module_exit(firmware_class_exit); EXPORT_SYMBOL(release_firmware); EXPORT_SYMBOL(request_firmware); EXPORT_SYMBOL(request_firmware_nowait); -EXPORT_SYMBOL(register_firmware); diff --git a/include/linux/firmware.h b/include/linux/firmware.h index 2d716080be4a..33d8f2087b6e 100644 --- a/include/linux/firmware.h +++ b/include/linux/firmware.h @@ -19,5 +19,4 @@ int request_firmware_nowait( void (*cont)(const struct firmware *fw, void *context)); void release_firmware(const struct firmware *fw); -void register_firmware(const char *name, const u8 *data, size_t size); #endif |
