Subject: [PATCH net-next v3] firmware_loader: Expand Firmware upload error codes with firmware invalid error

From: Kory Maincent <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2023 14:52:43 +0100

No error code are available to signal an invalid firmware content.
Drivers that can check the firmware content validity can not return this
specific failure to the user-space

Expand the firmware error code with an additional code:
- "firmware invalid" code which can be used when the provided firmware
  is invalid

Sync lib/test_firmware.c file accordingly.

Changes in v3:
- Add the newly introduced error code to test_firmware.c

This patch was initially submitted as part of a net patch series.
Conor expressed interest in using it in a different subsystem.
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email-masked]/

Consequently, I extracted it from the series and submitted it separately.
I first tried to send it to driver-core but it seems also not the best
choice:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2023111720-slicer-exes-7d9f@gregkh/

Jakub could you create a stable branch for this patch and share the branch
information? This way other Maintainers can then pull the patch.
