/*
* Loadable firmware support.
*
* The firmware abstraction provides an interface for loading firmware
* images into the kernel and making them available to clients.
*
* Firmware images are usually embedded in kernel loadable modules that can
* be loaded on-demand or pre-loaded as desired. Modules may contain
* one or more firmware images that are stored as opaque data arrays
* and registered with a unique string name. Clients request
* firmware by name, and are returned a struct firmware * below on success.
* The kernel keeps track of references to firmware images to allow/prevent
* module/data unload.
*
* When multiple images are stored in one module, the first image is
* treated as the master with the other images holding references
* to it. This means that to unload the module each dependent/subimage
* must first have its references removed.
* In order for automatic loading to work, the master image must have
* the same name as the module it is embedded into.
