Please consider this version series ready for upstream acceptance.
This patch series adds partial read support in request_firmware_into_buf. In order to accept the enhanced API it has been requested that kernel selftests and upstreamed driver utilize the API enhancement and so are included in this patch series.
Also in this patch series is the addition of a new Broadcom VK driver utilizing the new request_firmware_into_buf enhanced API.
Up to now, the firmware blob was read into memory allowing IMA to verify the file signature. With this change, ima_post_read_file() will not be able to verify the file signature.
(I don't think any of the other LSMs are on this hook, but you might want to Cc the LSM or integrity mailing list.)
