Add support for testing the firmware upload driver. There are four sysfs
nodes added:
upload_register: write-only
Write the name of the firmware device node to be created
upload_unregister: write-only
Write the name of the firmware device node to be destroyed
config_upload_name: read/write
Set the name to be used by upload_read
upload_read: read-only
Read back the data associated with the firmware device node named
in config_upload_name
You can create multiple, concurrent firmware device nodes for firmware
upload testing. Read firmware back and validate it using config_upload_name
and upload_red.
Example:
$ cd /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_firmware
$ echo -n fw1 > upload_register
$ ls fw1
cancel data device error loading power remaining_size status
subsystem uevent
$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/random-firmware.bin bs=512 count=4
4+0 records in
4+0 records out
2048 bytes (2.0 kB, 2.0 KiB) copied, 0.000131959 s, 15.5 MB/s
$ echo 1 > fw1/loading
$ cat /tmp/random-firmware.bin > fw1/data
$ echo 0 > fw1/loading
$ cat fw1/status
idle
$ cat fw1/error
$ echo -n fw1 > config_upload_name
$ cmp /tmp/random-firmware.bin upload_read
$ echo $?
0
$ echo -n fw1 > upload_unregister

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
