Zong-Zhe Yang 3ddfe3bdd3 wifi: rtw89: don't request partial firmware if SECURITY_LOADPIN_ENFORCE
Kernel logs on platform enabling SECURITY_LOADPIN_ENFORCE
------
```
LoadPin: firmware old-api-denied obj=<unknown> pid=810 cmdline="modprobe -q -- rtw89_8852ce"
rtw89_8852ce 0000:01:00.0: loading /lib/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852c_fw.bin failed with error -1
rtw89_8852ce 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for rtw89/rtw8852c_fw.bin failed with error -1
rtw89_8852ce 0000:01:00.0: failed to early request firmware: -1
```

Trace
------
```
request_partial_firmware_into_buf()
> _request_firmware()
>> fw_get_filesystem_firmware()
>>> kernel_read_file_from_path_initns()
>>>> kernel_read_file()
>>>>> security_kernel_read_file()
// It will iterate enabled LSMs' hooks for kernel_read_file.
// With loadpin, it hooks loadpin_read_file.
```

If SECURITY_LOADPIN_ENFORCE is enabled, doing kernel_read_file() on partial
files will be denied and return -EPERM (-1). Then, the outer API based on it,
e.g. request_partial_firmware_into_buf(), will get the error.

In the case, we cannot get the firmware stuffs right, even though there might
be no error other than a permission issue on reading a partial file. So we have
to request full firmware if SECURITY_LOADPIN_ENFORCE is enabled. It makes us
still have a chance to do early firmware work on this kind of platforms.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
