This v4 fixes a small typo on the p54 driver conversion after the sysdata/drvdata rename caught by 0-day. It also drops the microcode firmware conversion as we only need one driver to demo the API for now.
Once we get more bells and whistles we might see more drivers convert over, if they want, specially once we get firmware signing -- but that may take a bit more time. The drvdata goes without any fallback mechanism as that is a royal mess right now, we *do* plan on merging support for it once we iron out a clean solution on the old API which addresses all known shortcomings. A clean fallback mechanism will then be available to both old an new the new API. *New* features however will be encouraged using the new drvdata API moving forward. This series is intended to apply after the two documentation patch updates in the series: "[PATCH v4 0/2] firmware: fw doc revamp follow up" [0].
