dell_rbu previously would allow a userspace application to craft the
payload after dell_rbu was loaded and abuse the udev userspace API.

Instead require the payload to be crafted and placed in
/lib/firmware/dell_rbu ahead of time.

This adjusts dell_rbu to immediately load the firmware from
/lib/firmware/dell_rbu when "init" is passed into image_type using the
kernel helper.

Looks like you missed the Signed-off-by line.

Can you also drop the Kconfig dependency on CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER?

Thanks,
Laura
