[PATCH] dell_rbu: enhancements and fixes
BUG fixes:
The driver used to allocate memory with spinlock held which has been
fixed in this patch.
The driver was printing the entire buffer when it received a invalid
entry in image_type. The fix is to only print a warning message and not
the buffer.
Usability enhancements:
It is possible that due to user error the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu
entries might be missing, this can happen if the user does the following
echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
This will make the entries in /sys/class/firmware/ to disappear and the
only way get them back was bby unloading and loading the driver.
This patch makes the user recreate these entries by echoing init in to
image_type.
This patch has been tested with Libsmbios and Dell OpenManage.
