    firmware: enable run time change of forcing fallback loader · ceb18132

    Currently one requires to test four kernel configurations to test the
    firmware API completely:
    
    0)
      CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
    
    1)
      o CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
      o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
    
    2)
      o CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
      o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
      o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK=y
    
    3) When CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m the built-in stuff is disabled, we have
       no current tests for this.
    
    We can reduce the requirements to three kernel configurations by making
    fw_config.force_sysfs_fallback a proc knob we flip on off. For kernels that
    disable CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC this can also enable one to inspect if
    CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK was enabled at build time by checking
    the proc value at boot time.
