Florian Fainelli 495ff36388 firmware_loader: Strip off \n from customized path
Having helped an user recently figure out why the customized path being
specified was not taken into account landed on a subtle difference
between using:

echo "/xyz/firmware" > /sys/module/firmware_class/parameters/path

which inserts an additional newline which is passed as is down to
fw_get_filesystem_firmware() and ultimately kernel_read_file_from_path()
and fails.

Strip off \n from the customized firmware path such that users do not
run into these hard to debug situations.

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.
