The use of firmware_loader is an implementation detail of drivers rather
than a dependency. FW_LOADER is typically selected rather than depended
on; the Rust abstractions should do the same thing.

<content type='text'>
Several drivers can benefit from registering per-instance data along
with the syscore operations. To achieve this, move the modifiable fields
out of the syscore_ops structure and into a separate struct syscore that
can be registered with the framework. Add a void * driver data field for
drivers to store contextual data that will be passed to the syscore ops.

<id>urn:sha1:b811e8a01d8db2ea605e6158063aac0bf00c77b8</id>
<content type='text'>
Replace deprecated simple_strtol() calls with kstrtoint() in
timeout_store() and firmware_loading_store() functions to
improve input validation and error handling. The simple_strtol()
function does not provide proper error checking for invalid input,
while kstrtoint() returns an error for malformed strings.

This change adds proper validation for user input from sysfs attributes,
returning -EINVAL for invalid numeric strings instead of silently accepting
potentially malformed input. The behavior for valid numeric input remains
unchanged.

The simple_strtol() function is deprecated in favor of kstrtoint() family
functions which provide better error handling and are recommended for new
code and replacements.

<title>firmware_loader: Only call cancel when upload is active</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fe6193a3187a1a7482ccfbc904bc527e7730a36c</id>
<content type='text'>
The cancel_store() function currently calls the firmware upload cancel
operation even when no upload is in progress (i.e., when progress is
FW_UPLOAD_PROG_IDLE).

Update cancel_store() to only invoke the cancel operation when an upload
is active. If the upload is idle, return -ENODEV without calling cancel.

This change improves safety and correctness by ensuring driver operations
are only called in valid states.
