Hi,

There is some new stuff:
-----------------------

- 'struct device *device' is used instead of 'char *device'. So we now
have the device symlink :)

- request_firmware_nowait is implemented, please comment on it.

- It doesn't abuse the stack any more, or at least not that much :)

- There is a timeout, changeable from userspace. Feedback on a
reasonable default value appreciated.

- Extended 'loading' semantics:
echo 1 > loading:
start a new load, and flush any data from a previous
partial load.
echo 0 > loading:
finish load.
echo -1 > loading:
cancel load and give an error to the driver.

- adapted to new sysfs interface.

- it is now a patch against current bk-cvs gateway.

- There is a *working* sample on how to use the firmware class without
using request_firmware(). It is not clean, but it works, if it is
found to be interesting it should be further polished.

Some random notes:
-----------------

- request_firmware_cancel is not needed, request_firmware_nowait will
lock the client module into memory until after triggering the
callback.
The only other problem that I can think of is the device getting
unplugged while waiting for firmware, so the driver callback should
first make sure that the device is still there.

- firmware-class.diff adds both samples to the kernel tree, that
doesn't mean that I want them there, it is just for easier testing.

Patches:
-------

- firmware-class.diff:
firmware_class code and the two samples.

- sysfs-bin-flexible-size.diff:
Make dynamically sized files possible.
And return the right value on successful write.

- sysfs-bin-lost-dget.diff:
I was having trouble when calling request_firmware() from a
work queue, and after a little investigations it seams that this
dget got lost along the way. Adding it back fixed the issue.
Or am I causing a dentry leak now?

PS: If you guys consider this abusive CC:ing, please complain.
