From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" mcgrof@kernel.org
[ Upstream commit 65c79230576873b312c3599479c1e42355c9f349 ]
The file /sys/module/firmware_class/parameters/path can be used to set a custom firmware path. The fw_filesystem.sh script creates a temporary directory to add a test firmware file to be used during testing, in order for this to work it uses the custom path syfs file and it was supposed to reset back the file on execution exit. The script failed to do this due to a typo, it was using OLD_PATH instead of OLD_FWPATH, since its inception since v3.17.
Its not as easy to just keep the old setting, it turns out that resetting an empty setting won't actually do what we want, we need to check if it was empty and set an empty space.
Without this we end up having the temporary path always set after we run these tests.
