+Subject: firmware_class: Log every success and failure against given device
+Date: Sun, 09 Dec 2012 16:02:00 +0000
+Forwarded: no
+
+The hundreds of users of request_firmware() have nearly as many
+different log formats for reporting failures. They also have only the
+vaguest hint as to what went wrong; only firmware_class really knows
+that. Therefore, add specific log messages for the failure modes that
+aren't currently logged.
+
+In case of a driver that tries multiple names, this may result in the
+impression that it failed to initialise. Therefore, also log successes.
+
+This makes many error messages in drivers redundant, which will be
+removed in later patches.
+
+This does not cover the case where we fall back to a user-mode helper
+(which is no longer enabled in Debian).
+
+NOTE: hw-detect will depend on the "firmware: failed to load %s (%d)\n"
+format to detect missing firmware.
