It seems better to punt that decision to callers - for example, the case I ran into this with was a driver that was using a zero length firmware to say that it didn't want to load an optional image but also didn't want to have to time out if that was the case. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me, and drivers already have to validate that what they're getting makes sense. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
