Some architectures do not define certain PAGE_KERNEL_* flags, this is
either because:
a) The way to implement some of these flags is *not yet ported*, or
b) The architecture *has no way* to describe them
Over time we have accumulated a few PAGE_KERNEL_* fallback workarounds
for architectures in the kernel which do not define them using
*relatively safe* equivalents. Move these scattered fallback hacks into
asm-generic.
We start off with PAGE_KERNEL_RO using PAGE_KERNEL as a fallback. This
has been in place on the firmware loader for years. Move the fallback
into the respective asm-generic header.

Currently the firmware loader only exposes one silent path for querying
optional firmware, and that is firmware_request_direct(). This function
also disables the sysfs fallback mechanism, which might not always be the
desired behaviour [0].
This patch introduces a variations of request_firmware() that enable the
caller to disable the undesired warning messages but enables the sysfs
fallback mechanism. This is equivalent to adding FW_OPT_NO_WARN to the
old behaviour.

If we resort to using the sysfs fallback mechanism we don't print
the filename. This can be deceiving given we could have a series of
callers intertwined and it'd be unclear exactly for what firmware
this was meant for.
Additionally, although we don't currently use FW_OPT_NO_WARN when
dealing with the fallback mechanism, we will soon, so just respect
its use consistently.
And even if you *don't* want to print always on failure, you may
want to print when debugging so enable dynamic debug print when
FW_OPT_NO_WARN is used.

Some devices have an optimization in place to enable the firmware to
be retaineed during a system reboot, so after reboot the device can skip
requesting and loading the firmware. This can save up to 1s in load
time. The mt7601u 802.11 device happens to be such a device.
When these devices retain the firmware on a reboot and then suspend
they can miss looking for the firmware on resume. To help with this we
need a way to cache the firmware when such an optimization has taken
place.

request_firmware_into_buf() explicitly disables the firmware cache,
meanwhile the firmware cache cannot be used when request_firmware_nowait()
is used without the uevent. Enforce a sanity check for this to avoid future
issues undocumented behaviours should misuses of the firmware cache
happen later.
One of the reasons we want to enforce this is the firmware cache is
used for helping with suspend/resume, and if incompatible calls use it
they can stall suspend.

Currently fw_add_devm_name() returns 1 if the firmware cache
was already set. This makes it complicated for us to check for
correctness. It is actually non-fatal if the firmware cache
is already setup, so just return 0, and simplify the checkers.
fw_add_devm_name() adds device's name onto the devres for the
device so that prior to suspend we cache the firmware onto memory,
so that on resume the firmware is reliably available. We never
were checking for success for this call though, meaning in some
really rare cases we my have never setup the firmware cache for
a device, which could in turn make resume fail.
This is all theoretical, no known issues have been reported.
This small issue has been present way since the addition of the
devres firmware cache names on v3.7.

You currently need four different kernel builds to test the firmware

Currently one requires to test four kernel configurations to test the
firmware API completely:
0)
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
1)
o CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
2)
o CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK=y
3) When CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m the built-in stuff is disabled, we have
no current tests for this.
We can reduce the requirements to three kernel configurations by making
fw_config.force_sysfs_fallback a proc knob we flip on off. For kernels that
disable CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC this can also enable one to inspect if
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK was enabled at build time by checking
the proc value at boot time.
