Subject: [PATCH 3/4] firmware_loader: Return status from request_firmware_nowait_cancel
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 17:18:13 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921211817.2432341-4-sanderson@brivo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921211817.2432341-1-sanderson@brivo.com>

request_firmware_nowait_cancel only cancels the most-recent matching
firmware request. If the callback creates additional requests then there
can be multiple requests in-flight (the original request and the
(pending) additional request). If we try to cancel the request at that
point, the original request may still be running. Add a status return
from request_firmware_nowait_cancel so we can tell if there may still be
additional requests we need to cancel.
