^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  2) Firmware lookup order
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  3) =====================
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  4) 
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  5) Different functionality is available to enable firmware to be found.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  6) Below is chronological order of how firmware will be looked for once
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  7) a driver issues a firmware API call.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  8) 
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300  9) * The ''Built-in firmware'' is checked first, if the firmware is present we
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 10)   return it immediately
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11) * The ''Firmware cache'' is looked at next. If the firmware is found we
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12)   return it immediately
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 13) * The ''Direct filesystem lookup'' is performed next, if found we
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 14)   return it immediately
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 15) * The ''Platform firmware fallback'' is performed next, but only when
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 16)   firmware_request_platform() is used, if found we return it immediately
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 17) * If no firmware has been found and the fallback mechanism was enabled
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 18)   the sysfs interface is created. After this either a kobject uevent
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 19)   is issued or the custom firmware loading is relied upon for firmware
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 20)   loading up to the timeout value.
