Subject[PATCH v4 03/17] fs/kernel_read_file: Remove FIRMWARE_EFI_EMBEDDED enum
Date
The "FIRMWARE_EFI_EMBEDDED" enum is a "where", not a "what". It
should not be distinguished separately from just "FIRMWARE", as this
confuses the LSMs about what is being loaded. Additionally, there was
no actual validation of the firmware contents happening.

Fixes: e4c2c0ff00ec ("firmware: Add new platform fallback mechanism and firmware_request_platform()")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Acked-by: Scott Branden <scott.branden@broadcom.com>
Reviewed-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>

To aid in backporting, this change is made before moving
kernel_read_file() to separate header/source files.
