+Subject: test_firmware: return ENOMEM instead of ENOSPC on failed memory allocation
+
+From: Mirsad Goran Todorovac <mirsad.todorovac@alu.unizg.hr>
+
+commit 7dae593cd226a0bca61201cf85ceb9335cf63682 upstream.
+
+In a couple of situations like
+
+       name = kstrndup(buf, count, GFP_KERNEL);
+       if (!name)
+               return -ENOSPC;
+
+the error is not actually "No space left on device", but "Out of memory".
+
+It is semantically correct to return -ENOMEM in all failed kstrndup()
+and kzalloc() cases in this driver, as it is not a problem with disk
+space, but with kernel memory allocator failing allocation.
+
+The semantically correct should be:
+
+        name = kstrndup(buf, count, GFP_KERNEL);
+        if (!name)
+                return -ENOMEM;
