The brcm_free_alt_fw_paths() should take fwctx for the argument and fwctx->alt_paths should be set to NULL there. On the other hand, I'd change the **alt_paths to a fixed-size array. This should simplify the code, making it easier to follow and maintain. - const char **alt_paths; + char *alt_paths[BRCM_MAX_ALT_FW_PATHS]; Then you also won't need to NULL-terminate the array, which is a common source of bugs in kernel.

Thanks, Linus. I took a brief look at the patch and may give it a test next time, once it will compile without errors and warnings.

Because implicit conversion from char ** to const char ** is not legal in C, as that could cause const unsoundness if you do this: char *foo[1]; const char **bar = foo; bar[0] = "constant string"; foo[0][0] = '!'; // clobbers constant string But it's fine in this case since the non-const pointer disappears so nothing can ever write through it again.

The brcm_free_alt_fw_paths() should take fwctx for the argument > and fwctx->alt_paths should be set to NULL there. There are multiple code paths for alt_paths; the initial firmware lookup uses fwctx->alt_paths, and once we know the firmware load succeeded we use blocking firmware requests for NVRAM/CLM/etc and those do not use the fwctx member, but rather just keep alt_paths in function scope (brcmf_fw_request_firmware). You're right that there was a rebase SNAFU there though, I'll compile test each patch before sending v2. Sorry about that. In this series the code should build again by patch #6. Are you thinking of any particular code paths? As far as I saw when writing this, brcmf_fw_request_done() should always get called whether things succeed or fail. There are no other code paths that free fwctx->alt_paths. > On the other hand, I'd change the **alt_paths to a fixed-size array. > This should simplify the code, making it easier to follow and maintain. > > - const char **alt_paths; > + char *alt_paths[BRCM_MAX_ALT_FW_PATHS]; > > Then you also won't need to NULL-terminate the array, which is a common > source of bugs in kernel. That sounds reasonable, it'll certainly make the code simpler. I'll do that for v2.

You would need to do the casting for the other way around, i.e. if char ** was returned and **alt_paths was a const.

It should be okay in the particular case then. But this is not obvious without taking a closer look at the code, which is a sign that there is some room for improvement. >> On the other hand, I'd change the **alt_paths to a fixed-size array. >> This should simplify the code, making it easier to follow and maintain. >> >> - const char **alt_paths; >> + char *alt_paths[BRCM_MAX_ALT_FW_PATHS]; >> >> Then you also won't need to NULL-terminate the array, which is a common >> source of bugs in kernel. > > That sounds reasonable, it'll certainly make the code simpler.

Hence you should've written "const char **alt_paths;" in brcm_alt_fw_paths() in the first place and then casting wouldn't have been needed.

Sure, in this case that works since the string is just strduped and never mutated. Either way this will change to an argument instead of a return value, since I'll change it to be statically sized as you said and allocated by the caller (or in the struct).

Apple platforms have firmware and config files identified with multiple dimensions. We want to be able to find the most specific firmware available for any given platform, progressively trying more general firmwares. First, add support for having multiple alternate firmware paths.
