> This patch series refactors the Aquantia PHY firmware loader to use
> the generic fwloader framework.
> 
> The existing loader is limited to loading firmware from an MMC device,
> which restricts its use on many devices (e.g., routers) that may use
> other storage like USB or have a UBIFS root filesystem. Migrating to the
> generic firmware loader allows firmware to be sourced from any backend
> supported by the fwloader scripting framework.
> 
> The series is structured as follows:
> - The first patch prepares current loading code for fwloader.
> - The second and main patch replaces the custom loader with generic one.
> 
> This change has been tested on a Buffalo WXR18000BE10P router, loading
> firmware from a UBIFS volume for Marvell CUX3410.
> 
> Changes in v5:
> - Remove fsloader codepath
> - Drop binding changes
> - Make script name static
> - Minor refactor
> 
> Changes in v4:
> - Split firmware upload helpers change
> - Reorder `aquantia_read_fw`
> - Make `aquantia_read_fw` weak to allow overide
> - Rename exit label in `aquantia_read_fw`
> - Kconfig polish
> 
> Changes in v3:
> - Select FW_LOADER with PHY_AQUANTIA_UPLOAD_FW
> 
> Changes in v2:
> - Add support for script based loader
