The direct firmware class API support original relied
on the destination address to determine which file operations
to link to the data binary file. Since the 4.4 kernel version,
this was changed to an attribute group.
Fix this by adding a direct firmware API attribute group and
appropriately assign it when necessary.

We currently use flexible arrays with a char at the
end for the remaining internal firmware name uses.
There are two limitations with the way we use this.
Since we're using a flexible array for a string on the
struct if we wanted to use two strings it means we'd
have a disjoint means of handling the strings, one
using the flexible array, and another a char * pointer.
We're also currently not using 'const' for the string.
We wish to later extend some firmware data structures
with other string/char pointers, but we also want to be
very pedantic about const usage. Since we're going to
change things to use 'const' we might as well also address
unified way to use multiple strings on the structs.
Replace the flexible array practice for strings with
kstrdup_const() and kfree_const(), this will avoid
allocations when the vmlinux .rodata is used, and just
allocate a new proper string for us when needed. This
also means we can simplify the struct allocations by
removing the string length from the allocation size
computation, which would otherwise get even more
complicated when supporting multiple strings.

Now that the udev firmware loader is optional request_firmware()
will not provide any information on the kernel ring buffer if
direct firmware loading failed and udev firmware loading is disabled.
If no information is needed request_firmware_direct() should be used
for optional firmware, at which point drivers can take on the onus
over informing of any failures, if udev firmware loading is disabled
though we should at the very least provide some sort of information
as when the udev loader was enabled by default back in the days.

[The patch was originally proposed by Tom Gundersen, and rewritten
afterwards by me; most of changelogs below borrowed from Tom's
original patch -- tiwai]
Currently (at least) the dell-rbu driver selects FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER,
which means that distros can't really stop loading firmware through
udev without breaking other users (though some have).
Ideally we would remove/disable the udev firmware helper in both the
kernel and in udev, but if we were to disable it in udev and not the
kernel, the result would be (seemingly) hung kernels as no one would
be around to cancel firmware requests.
This patch allows udev firmware loading to be disabled while still
allowing non-udev firmware loading, as done by the dell-rbu driver, to
continue working. This is achieved by only using the fallback
mechanism when the uevent is suppressed.
The patch renames the user-selectable Kconfig from FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER
to FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK, and the former is reverse-selected
by the latter or the drivers that need userhelper like dell-rbu.
Also, the "default y" is removed together with this change, since it's
been deprecated in udev upstream, thus rather better to disable it
nowadays.
Tested with
FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n
LATTICE_ECP3_CONFIG=y
DELL_RBU=y
and udev without the firmware loading support, but I don't have the
hardware to test the lattice/dell drivers, so additional testing would
be appreciated.

When CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER is set, request_firmware() falls
back to the usermode helper for loading via udev when the direct
loading fails. But the recent udev takes way too long timeout (60
seconds) for non-existing firmware. This is unacceptable for the
drivers like microcode loader where they load firmwares optionally,
i.e. it's no error even if no requested file exists.
This patch provides a new helper function, request_firmware_direct().
It behaves as same as request_firmware() except for that it doesn't
fall back to usermode helper but returns an error immediately if the
f/w can't be loaded directly in kernel.
Without CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y, request_firmware_direct() is
just an alias of request_firmware(), due to obvious reason.

The direct firmware loading interface is a bit quiet about failures. Failures
that occur during loading are masked if firmware exists in multiple locations,
and may be masked entirely in the event that we fall back to the user mode
helper code. It would be nice to see some of the more unexpected errors get
logged, so in the event that you expect the direct firmware loader to work (like
if CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER is enabled), and something goes wrong, you can
figure out what happened.
