firmware_class: make sure fw requests contain a name
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
An empty firmware request name will trigger warnings when building
device names. Make sure this is caught earlier and rejected.

The warning was visible via the test_firmware.ko module interface:

echo -ne "\x00" > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_firmware/trigger_request
