lockdep, bug: Exclude TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND from disabling lockdep
It's unlikely that TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND causes false lockdep messages, so do not disable lockdep in that case. We still want to keep lockdep disabled in the TAINT_OOT_MODULE case: - bin-only modules can cause various instabilities in their and in unrelated kernel code - they are impossible to debug for kernel developers - they also typically do not have the copyright license permission to link to the GPL-ed lockdep code.
