[PATCH 079/196] firmware: export firmware_kset so that people can use that instead of the braindead firmware_register interface

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

Needed for future firmware subsystem cleanups.

In the end, the firmware_register/unregister functions will be deleted
entirely, but we need this symbol so that subsystems can migrate over.
