Hans de Goede e4c2c0ff00 firmware: Add new platform fallback mechanism and firmware_request_platform()
In some cases the platform's main firmware (e.g. the UEFI fw) may contain
an embedded copy of device firmware which needs to be (re)loaded into the
peripheral. Normally such firmware would be part of linux-firmware, but in
some cases this is not feasible, for 2 reasons:

1) The firmware is customized for a specific use-case of the chipset / use
with a specific hardware model, so we cannot have a single firmware file
for the chipset. E.g. touchscreen controller firmwares are compiled
specifically for the hardware model they are used with, as they are
calibrated for a specific model digitizer.

2) Despite repeated attempts we have failed to get permission to
redistribute the firmware. This is especially a problem with customized
firmwares, these get created by the chip vendor for a specific ODM and the
copyright may partially belong with the ODM, so the chip vendor cannot
give a blanket permission to distribute these.

This commit adds a new platform fallback mechanism to the firmware loader
which will try to lookup a device fw copy embedded in the platform's main
firmware if direct filesystem lookup fails.

Drivers which need such embedded fw copies can enable this fallback
mechanism by using the new firmware_request_platform() function.

Note that for now this is only supported on EFI platforms and even on
these platforms firmware_fallback_platform() only works if
CONFIG_EFI_EMBEDDED_FIRMWARE is enabled (this gets selected by drivers
which need this), in all other cases firmware_fallback_platform() simply
always returns -ENOENT.

/**
* enum fw_opt - options to control firmware loading behaviour
*
* @FW_OPT_UEVENT: Enables the fallback mechanism to send a kobject uevent
* when the firmware is not found. Userspace is in charge to load the
* firmware using the sysfs loading facility.
* @FW_OPT_NOWAIT: Used to describe the firmware request is asynchronous.
* @FW_OPT_USERHELPER: Enable the fallback mechanism, in case the direct
* filesystem lookup fails at finding the firmware. For details refer to
* firmware_fallback_sysfs().
* @FW_OPT_NO_WARN: Quiet, avoid printing warning messages.
* @FW_OPT_NOCACHE: Disables firmware caching. Firmware caching is used to
* cache the firmware upon suspend, so that upon resume races against the
* firmware file lookup on storage is avoided. Used for calls where the
* file may be too big, or where the driver takes charge of its own
* firmware caching mechanism.
* @FW_OPT_NOFALLBACK_SYSFS: Disable the sysfs fallback mechanism. Takes
* precedence over &FW_OPT_UEVENT and &FW_OPT_USERHELPER.
* @FW_OPT_FALLBACK_PLATFORM: Enable fallback to device fw copy embedded in
* the platform's main firmware. If both this fallback and the sysfs
* fallback are enabled, then this fallback will be tried first.
