[PATCH v2 20/23] firmware: add debug facility to emulate disabling sysfs fallback

From: Luis R. Rodriguez
Date: Mon Nov 20 2017 - 13:24:41 EST


One can build a kernel without CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER being
enabled, but testing it requires a unique kernel configuration most
folks do not enable. This makes it hard to test.

Provide a debugfs facility to enable us to emulate such kernels.
