Currently one requires to test four kernel configurations to test the
firmware API completely:
0)
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
1)
o CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
2)
o CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK=y
3) When CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m the built-in stuff is disabled, we have
no current tests for this.
We can reduce the requirements to three kernel configurations by making
fw_config.force_sysfs_fallback a proc knob we flip on off. For kernels that
disable CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC this can also enable one to inspect if
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK was enabled at build time by checking
the proc value at boot time.

This will make it much easier to manage as we manage to
keep trimming componnents down into their own files to more
easily manage and maintain this codebase.
