The BES2600 factory calibration file (bes2600_factory.txt) was being read via filp_open() + kernel_read() from a hard-coded absolute path baked in at compile time via the FACTORY_PATH Makefile macro (default: /lib/firmware/bes2600_factory.txt). This had several problems: 1. Path mismatch - linux-firmware-style packaging (and danctnix 0.2-5 device-pine64-pinetab2) ships the file at /lib/firmware/bes2600/bes2600_factory.txt, not /lib/firmware/. The driver logged '(NULL device *): read and check /lib/firmware/bes2600_factory.txt error' on every boot on PineTab2 running linux-pinetab2 6.19.10-danctnix1-1. 2. Direct filesystem access via filp_open() / kernel_read() from a driver is an anti-pattern that upstream rejects: drivers should use request_firmware() to get binary data from userspace-managed firmware directories. request_firmware() natively searches the firmware_class path list (typically /lib/firmware + derivatives), associates the load with a uevent, and respects the firmware-loading infrastructure. 3. The (NULL device *) prefix in error messages indicated the absence of proper device-context logging. While this patch does not yet thread struct device through, the upstream path uses request_firmware() which works with dev=NULL and is the building block for a follow-up patch that adds per-chip device context. Repoint the FACTORY_PATH default to the firmware-class name (bes2600/bes2600_factory.txt) - request_firmware() prepends /lib/firmware/ from the configured search paths. The macro remains overridable at build time for non-standard deployments. Rewrite factory_section_read_file() to: * Call request_firmware(&fw, path, NULL). * Size-check fw->size against FACTORY_MAX_SIZE. * memcpy the data into the caller's buffer. * Always call release_firmware() on exit. The file write path (factory_section_write_file + kernel_write) is left unchanged in this patch; it is the subject of a follow-up patch that removes kernel_write and moves any remaining userspace-visible factory configuration to a standard kernel-userspace boundary (debugfs or nl80211 testmode). No caller signature changes. No Makefile flag drops. Bisectable. Tested-on: PineTab2 (BES2600WM + RK3566) running linux-pinetab2 6.19.10-danctnix1-1, deployed via /lib/modules/<ver>/extra/. Verified post-reboot: original 'read and check /lib/firmware/bes2600_factory.txt error' is gone; request_firmware reads the file successfully (a separate factory_parse() bug, previously masked by the read failure, is now exposed and tracked separately).
