The script based firmware loader does not use anything from the
fs_loader implementation. Separate it into its own library source
file and convert the mediatek PHY to use this separate code. This
should reduce the amount of code that is pulled in alongside the
firmware loader, as the FS loader is no longer included.

Use plain buffer pointer in request_firmware_into_buf_via_script()
instead of a pointer to pointer. The later is not necessary as the
request_firmware_into_buf_via_script() does not modify the buffer
pointer. Update the mediatek driver to match.

request_firmware_into_buf_via_script()
It's important to return the actual firmware data size as some
firmware files may have no checksum and need the size as the only
way for firmware validation check.

firmware loading via U-Boot script
This commit introduces a new API,
request_firmware_into_buf_via_script(), to the fs_loader framework.
This function allows firmware to be loaded into memory using
a user-defined U-Boot script, providing greater flexibility for
firmware loading scenarios that cannot be handled by static file
paths or device/partition selection alone.
Key features:
- The API runs a specified U-Boot script (by name), which is responsible
for loading the firmware into memory by any means (e.g., load from MMC, USB, network, etc.).
- The script must set two environment variables: 'fw_addr'
(the memory address where the firmware is loaded) and
'fw_size' (the size of the firmware in bytes).
- The function validates these variables, copies the firmware into a newly
allocated buffer (using memdup), and returns the pointer
via the provided double pointer argument.
- The maximum allowed firmware size is checked to prevent buffer overflows.
- The environment variables are cleared after use to avoid stale data.
- Detailed error messages are provided for all failure conditions to aid debugging.
Usage example:
1. Define a U-Boot script in the environment that loads the firmware
and sets the required variables:
=> env set my_fw_script 'load mmc 0:1 ${loadaddr} firmware.bin &&
env set fw_addr ${loadaddr} && env set fw_size ${filesize}'
2. In your code, call the new API:
void *fw_buf = NULL;
int ret = request_firmware_into_buf_via_script(&fw_buf, 0x46000000, "my_fw_script");
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
This approach allows board integrators and users to customize the firmware
loading process without modifying the source code,
simply by changing the script in the U-Boot environment.

The fs_loader device is used to pull in settings via the chosen node.
However, there was no library function for this, so arria10 was doing it
explicitly. This function subsumes that, and uses ofnode_get_chosen_node
instead of navigating the device tree directly. Because fs_loader pulls
its config from the environment by default, it's fine to create a device
with nothing backing it at all. Doing this allows enabling
CONFIG_FS_LOADER without needing to modify the device tree.

Try to maintain some consistency between these variables by using _plat as
a suffix for them.

This header file should not be included in other header files. Remove it
and use a forward declaration instead.

Switching private data manual allocation to driver model auto allocation
so users no longer need to deallocate themself because this would be
deallocated by driver model when the device is no longer required.

This is file system generic loader which can be used to load
the file image from the storage into target such as memory.
The consumer driver would then use this loader to program whatever,
ie. the FPGA device.
