Modules may contain * one or more firmware images that are stored as opaque data arrays * and registered with a unique string name. Clients request * firmware by name, and are returned a struct firmware * below on success. * The kernel keeps track of references to firmware images to allow/prevent * module/data unload. * * When multiple images are stored in one module, the first image is * treated as the master with the other images holding references * to it. This means that to unload the module each dependent/subimage * must first have its references removed. * In order for automatic loading to work, the master image must have * the same name as the module it is embedded into. */ struct firmware { const char *name; /* system-wide name */ const void *data; /* location of image */ size_t datasize; /* size of image in bytes */ unsigned int version; /* version of the image */ }; const struct firmware *firmware_register(const char *, const void *, size_t, unsigned int, const struct firmware *); int firmware_unregister(const char *); const struct firmware *firmware_get(const char *); #define FIRMWARE_UNLOAD 0x0001 /* unload if unreferenced */ void firmware_put(const struct firmware *, int); #endif /* _SYS_FIRMWARE_H_ */
