Formalize the built-in firmware with a proper API. This can later be used by other callers where all they need is built-in firmware. We export the firmware_request_builtin() call for now only under the TEST_FIRMWARE symbol namespace as there are no direct modular users for it. If they pop up they are free to export it generally. Built-in code always gets access to the callers and we'll demonstrate a hidden user which has been lurking in the kernel for a while and the reason why using a proper API was better long term.

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.
