Use the standard firmware loader for loading ICS2115 OS firmware file.
This is the last old bad guy that is still using sys_open() and sys_read()
calls, and now all should be gone.
The patch also adds the missing description of module options related
with wavefront_synth.c.
Due to this rewrite, user will have to copy or make symlink the firmware
file appropriately to the standard firmware path such as /lib/firmware.

| H A D | open.c | diff cb51f973bce7aef46452b0c6faea8f791885f5b8 Thu Nov 15 02:00:10 CET 2007 Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> mark sys_open/sys_read exports unused
sys_open / sys_read were used in the early 1.2 days to load firmware from
disk inside drivers. Since 2.0 or so this was deprecated behavior, but
several drivers still were using this. Since a few years we have a
request_firmware() API that implements this in a nice, consistent way.
Only some old ISA sound drivers (pre-ALSA) still straggled along for some
time.... however with commit c2b1239a9f22f19c53543b460b24507d0e21ea0c the
last user is now gone.
This is a good thing, since using sys_open / sys_read etc for firmware is a
very buggy to dangerous thing to do; these operations put an fd in the
process file descriptor table.... which then can be tampered with from
other threads for example. For those who don't want the firmware loader,
filp_open()/vfs_read are the better APIs to use, without this security
issue.
The patch below marks sys_open and sys_read unused now that they're
really not used anymore, and for deletion in the 2.6.25 timeframe.
