From: Rafał Miłecki <ra...@milecki.pl>
So far we got only one function for loading firmware asynchronously:
request_firmware_nowait. It didn't allow much customization of firmware
loading process - there is only one bool uevent argument. Moreover this
bool also controls user helper in an unclear way.
Resolve this problem by adding a one flexible function and making old
request_firmware_nowait a simple inline using new solution. This
implementation:
1) Modifies only single bits on existing code
2) Doesn't require adjusting / rewriting current drivers
3) Adds new function for drivers that need more control over loading a
firmware. Thanks to using flags more features can be added later.

This patch is based on top of
[PATCH V2 RESEND] firmware: simplify defining and handling FW_OPT_FALLBACK
applied on top of Linux 4.10-rc8.
Ming/Luis/Greg: assuming this gets a positive review, could someone of you pick
this patchset? Second patch modifies brcmfmac, I'll try to get a proper Ack for
that one.
Unless you want this to go through wireless tree, then let me know please.
