Define cleanup handler using facilities from linux/cleanup.h to simplify
error handling in code using firmware loader. This will allow writing code
like this:
int driver_update_firmware(...)
{
const struct firmware *fw_entry __free(firmware) = NULL;
int error;
...
error = request_firmware(&fw_entry, fw_name, dev);
if (error) {
dev_err(dev, "failed to request firmware %s: %d",
fw_name, error);
return error;
}
error = check_firmware_valid(fw_entry);
if (error)
return error;
guard(mutex)(&instance->lock);
error = use_firmware(instance, fw);
if (error)
return error;
return 0;
}

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.
