The ice_devlink_flash_update function performs a few checks and then calls ice_flash_pldm_image. One of these checks is to call ice_check_for_pending_update. This function checks if the device has a pending update, and cancels it if so. This is necessary to allow a new flash update to proceed. We want to refactor the ice code to eliminate ice_devlink_flash_update, moving its checks into ice_flash_pldm_image. To do this, ice_check_for_pending_update will become static, and only called by ice_flash_pldm_image. To make this change easier to review, first just move the function up within the ice_fw_update.c file. While at it, note that the function has a misleading name. Its primary action is to cancel a pending update. Using the verb "check" does not imply this. Rename it to ice_cancel_pending_update.

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.
