Normally, system image should ensure firmware integrity, but we provide an advance feature to ensure this by security section along with firmware. To enable this feature, custom ID is programmed into efuse, and driver will download proper security section to firmware. Since I don't have this kind hardware modules on hand yet, but new format is used by newer firmware. Therefore, I prepare this patch in advance to consider size of security section as a factor of checking rule of firmware size, but don't actually download security section to firmware. This patch is backward compatible, so it will be safe to have this change before adding an new format firmware to linux-firmware repository.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
