The linux-firmware brcmfmac firmware files contain an embedded table with per country allowed channels and strength info. For recent hardware these versions of the firmware are specially build for linux-firmware, the firmware files directly available from Cypress rely on a separate clm_blob file for this info. For some unknown reason Cypress refuses to provide the standard firmware files + clm_blob files it uses elsewhere for inclusion into linux-firmware, instead relying on these special builds with the clm_blob info embedded. This means that the linux-firmware firmware versions often lag behind, but I digress. The brcmfmac driver does support the separate clm_blob file and always tries to load this. Currently we use request_firmware for this. This means that on any standard install, using the standard combo of linux-kernel + linux-firmware, we will get a warning: "Direct firmware load for ... failed with error -2" On top of this, brcmfmac itself prints: "no clm_blob available (err=-2), device may have limited channels available". This commit switches to firmware_request_nowarn, fixing almost any brcmfmac device logging the warning (it leaves the brcmfmac info message in place).

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.
