Change this to:
if (format[0] == '\0') {
In the caller, the assumption that format is at least GB_FIRMWARE_FORMAT_MAX_SIZE makes sense but in this function it doesn't make sense.
Ok, will do in the next version.

We have changed the sizeof(*request) but we haven't changed ->payload_size so how can this ever be true? Did you test this change?
The request originates in greybus node. The payload size here is calculate from the greybus message header. It is not a hard coded value. So as long as the node sets it correctly, it will work fine.
I guess, how was this working for other people then? It seems like a behavior change.
Well, it is technically a breaking change, if any device was already using fw download protocol. With that said, I have no idea who is using greybus right now. And since the changes are in staging drivers, it probably is fine.
I don't really know if the spec came first or linux implementation. But one of them is currently incorrect.
Just to clarify, greybus-for-zephyr is not the original or source of truth implementation of greybus. I just found the inconsistency between what the spec says, and what Linux kernel implements and thought that spec should probably have higher priority.
Ok, this is a question that many people face in one way or another.
Unless you have proof that there are no users, then we have to assume that there are users. An example of proof would be, there is a bug which prevents the module from probing and no one has complained for over a year. Just because code is in staging doesn't mean there are no users.
Sometimes code is in staging because the user interface is bad, and in that case we need to update the usespace tools to handle the new interface as well as the old one and then we can change the kernel. That's something we can do for staging code, but we hate to do it and once code leaves staging then the rules become more strict.
We don't really care about the spec, it's good to support the spec but what we really support are users. We can't break the code for existing users.
So we need to add if statements to support both formats.
if (op->request->payload_size != sizeof(*request) && op->request->payload_size != OLD_SIZE) {
etc.
