    NFC: Add firmware upload netlink command · 9674da87

    As several NFC chipsets can have their firmwares upgraded and
    reflashed, this patchset adds a new netlink command to trigger
    that the driver loads or flashes a new firmware. This will allows
    userspace triggered firmware upgrade through netlink.
    The firmware name or hint is passed as a parameter, and the driver
    will eventually fetch the firmware binary through the request_firmware
    API.
    The cmd can only be executed when the nfc dev is not in use. Actual
    firmware loading/flashing is an asynchronous operation. Result of the
    operation shall send a new event up to user space through the nfc dev
    multicast socket. During operation, the nfc dev is not openable and
    thus not usable.
