Subject: firmware_class: make sure fw requests contain a name
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=471b095dfe0d693a8d624cbc716d1ee4d74eb437;p=linux-beck.git

firmware_class: make sure fw requests contain a name

An empty firmware request name will trigger warnings when building
device names. Make sure this is caught earlier and rejected.

The warning was visible via the test_firmware.ko module interface:

echo -ne "\x00" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_firmware/trigger_request
