The sysfs based firmware loader mechanism was created to easily allow
userspace to upload firmware images to FPGA cards. This also happens to
be pretty suitable to create a user-initiated but kernel-controlled
firmware update mechanism for CXL devices, using the CXL specified
mailbox commands.

Since firmware update commands can be long-running, and can be processed
in the background by the endpoint device, it is desirable to have the
ability to chunk the firmware transfer down to smaller pieces, so that
one operation does not monopolize the mailbox, locking out any other
long running background commands entirely - e.g. security commands like
'sanitize' or poison scanning operations.

The firmware loader mechanism allows a natural way to perform this
chunking, as after each mailbox command, that is restricted to the
maximum mailbox payload size, the cxl memdev driver relinquishes control
back to the fw_loader system and awaits the next chunk of data to
transfer. This opens opportunities for other background commands to
access the mailbox and send their own slices of background commands.

Add the necessary helpers and state tracking to be able to perform the
'Get FW Info', 'Transfer FW', and 'Activate FW' mailbox commands as
described in the CXL spec. Wire these up to the firmware loader
callbacks, and register with that system to create the memX/firmware/
sysfs ABI.

Left over from a refactoring?

If size > cxlds->payload_size - sizeof(*transfer) what ensures that the step
we take forwards results in the next read having an offset that is 128B aligned?

I think cur_size needs to be forced to be a multiple of 128Bytes as well.

cxlmd.dev is only thing used, so I'd have a local variable
for that instead of cxlmd.

It's called from probe only so could use dev_err_probe() for slight
simplification.

What is cxlds->fwl for?  I'm not seeing it being used except just below which
can use the local variable instead.

Why is this change here?   Fairly sure it results in a duplicate release.

The fact that sizeof(*transfer) is 128 bytes, and payload_size is a
power of 2 starting with 256 should ensure alignment. Dan noted this
here, before which I did force alignment explicitly:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-cxl/646c313f20907_33fb329412@dwillia2-xfh.jf.intel.com.notmuch/

This probably deserves a comment though - I'll add that.

From what I can tell, this ends up looking like:

	fwl = firmware_upload_register(THIS_MODULE, dev,
dev_name(dev),
				       &cxl_memdev_fw_ops, cxlds);
	rc = dev_err_probe(dev, PTR_ERR(fwl),
			   "Failed to register firmware loader\n");
	if (rc)
		return rc;

Is that what you meant? Happy to make the change if so.

Ah yep I think an artifact from the previous rev where I had the fw
setup happening in this function.

Also agree with all other comments that I didn't address, making those
changes for v3.

Thanks for the review!

Actually I can't drop the IS_ERR() check - so unless I'm missing
something, this doesn't look like much of a simplification:


	if (IS_ERR(fwl)) {
		rc = dev_err_probe(dev, PTR_ERR(fwl),
				   "Failed to register firmware loader\n");
		if (rc)
			return rc;
	}

Ah. I replied to previous. It's simpler than that as you know rc != 0 as
it's IS_ERR(fwl)

dev_err_probe() does two helpful things over dev_err()
1. Handles stashing the debug messages for the deferred probe cases (not
   relevant here but harmless)
2. Returns the variable you pass in as second argument to allow
   return dev_err_probe()
