+ * test_config - represents configuration for the test for different triggers
+ *
+ * @name: the name of the firmware file to look for
+ * @sync_direct: when the sync trigger is used if this is true
+ *	request_firmware_direct() will be used instead.
+ * @send_uevent: whether or not to send a uevent for async requests
+ * @num_requests: number of requests to try per test case. This is trigger
+ *	specific.
+ * @reqs: stores all requests information
+ * @read_fw_idx: index of thread from which we want to read firmware results
+ *	from through the read_fw trigger.
+ * @test_result: a test may use this to collect the result from the call
+ *	of the request_firmware*() calls used in their tests. In order of
+ *	priority we always keep first any setup error. If no setup errors were
+ *	found then we move on to the first error encountered while running the
+ *	API. Note that for async calls this typically will be a successful
+ *	result (0) unless of course you've used bogus parameters, or the system
+ *	is out of memory.  In the async case the callback is expected to do a
+ *	bit more homework to figure out what happened, unfortunately the only
+ *	information passed today on error is the fact that no firmware was
+ *	found so we can only assume -ENOENT on async calls if the firmware is
+ *	NULL.
+ *
+ *	Errors you can expect:
+ *
+ *	API specific:
+ *
+ *	0:		success for sync, for async it means request was sent
+ *	-EINVAL:	invalid parameters or request
+ *	-ENOENT:	files not found
+ *
+ *	System environment:
+ *
+ *	-ENOMEM:	memory pressure on system
+ *	-ENODEV:	out of number of devices to test
+ *	-EINVAL:	an unexpected error has occurred
+ * @req_firmware: if @sync_direct is true this is set to
+ *	request_firmware_direct(), otherwise request_firmware()
