Unfortunately sofar we have been unable to get permission to redistribute icn8505 touchscreen firmwares in linux-firmware. This means that people need to find and install the firmware themselves before the touchscreen will work Some UEFI/x86 tablets with an icn8505 touchscreen have a copy of the fw embedded in their UEFI boot-services code. This commit makes the icn8505 driver use the new firmware_request_platform function, which will fallback to looking for such an embedded copy when direct filesystem lookup fails. This will make the touchscreen work OOTB on devices where there is a fw copy embedded in the UEFI code.

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.
