Add a uAPI, as part of the INFO IOCTL, to allow users to send requests directly to f/w, according to a pre-defined set of opcodes that the f/w exposes. The f/w will put the result in a kernel-allocated buffer, which the driver will then copy to the user-supplied buffer. This will allow f/w tools to communicate directly with the f/w without the need to add a new uAPI to the driver for each new type of request.

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.
