Move definitions required by sysfs.c from sysfs_upload.h to sysfs.h so
that sysfs.c does not need to include sysfs_upload.h.

Add additional sysfs nodes to monitor the transfer of firmware upload data
to the target device:
cancel: Write 1 to cancel the data transfer
error: Display error status for a failed firmware upload
remaining_size: Display the remaining amount of data to be transferred
status: Display the progress of the firmware upload

Extend the firmware subsystem to support a persistent sysfs interface that
userspace may use to initiate a firmware update. For example, FPGA based
PCIe cards load firmware and FPGA images from local FLASH when the card
boots. The images in FLASH may be updated with new images provided by the
user at his/her convenience.
A device driver may call firmware_upload_register() to expose persistent
"loading" and "data" sysfs files. These files are used in the same way as
the fallback sysfs "loading" and "data" files. When 0 is written to
"loading" to complete the write of firmware data, the data is transferred
to the lower-level driver using pre-registered call-back functions. The
data transfer is done in the context of a kernel worker thread.
