I'm soon going to release something that is going to let you do this faster and easier, let me know if you had troubles in trying to figure out how to not regress the kernel using this. > > But, I find no use of request_firmware_into_buf in lib/test_firmware.c > > (triggered by fw_run_tests.sh). > > > > Is there another test for request_firmware_into_buf? > > I have no idea, sorry. The folks who implemented request_firmware_into_buf() didn't add a respective test, because, well, this API went upstream IMO without much ACKs / review, and even no damn users. Now we have a user so we're stuck with it. So new testing calls for it would be appreciated. If you have questions I am happy to help. Luis
