So far member rtl_fw has three states: - IS_ERR(rtl_fw): firmware not loaded - !rtl_fw: no firmware available - other: firmware loaded This can be made simpler and clearer by adding the firmware name as member fw_name to struct rtl8169_private. Then: - !fw_name: no firmware available - !rtl_fw: firmware not loaded - rtl_fw: firmware loaded This change also allows to easily merge rtl_request_uncached_firmware into rtl_request_firmware.

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.
