[PATCH v2 4/9] bus: mhi: Centralize firmware image table selection at probe time

From: Kishore Batta

Date: Sat Mar 07 2026 - 06:42:44 EST


The Sahara driver currently selects firmware image tables using
scattered, device specific conditionals in the probe path, making the
logic harder to follow and extend.

Refactor firmware image table selection into a single, explicit probe-time
mechanism by introducing a variant table that captures device matching,
firmware image tables, firmware folder names, and streaming behavior in
one place.

This centralizes device specific decisions, simplifies the probe logic,
and avoids ad-hoc conditionals while preserving the existing behavior for
all supported AIC devices.
