Subject: [PATCH] dell_rbu: Don't fallback to userhelper when loading firmware
Date: Mon, 16 May 2016 10:41:04 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1463413264-32500-1-git-send-email-mario_limonciello@dell.com> (raw)

dell_rbu previously would allow a userspace application to craft the
payload after dell_rbu was loaded and abuse the udev userspace API.

Instead require the payload to be crafted and placed in
/lib/firmware/dell_rbu ahead of time.

This adjusts dell_rbu to immediately load the firmware from
/lib/firmware/dell_rbu when "init" is passed into image_type using the
kernel helper.
