fw_upload's poll_complete() is really intended for use with
asynchronous write() implementations - or at least those where the
write() loop may terminate without the kernel yet being aware of whether
or not the firmware upload has succeeded. For auto-update, write() is
only ever called once and will only return when uploading has completed,
be that by passing or failing. The core fw_upload code only calls
poll_complete() after the final call to write() has returned.
However, the poll_complete() implementation in the auto-update driver
was written to expect poll_complete() to be called from another context,
and it waits for a completion signalled from write(). Since
poll_complete() is actually called from the same context, after the
write() loop has terminated, wait_for_completion() never sees the
completion get signalled and always times out, causing programming to
always report a failing.
Since write() is full synchronous, and its return value will indicate
whether or not programming passed or failed, poll_complete() serves no
purpose and can be cut down to simply return FW_UPLOAD_ERR_NONE.

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 reStructuredText 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.
