And if we _are_ going to do it in the driver, which is far from clear, then look at the way the dell_rbu driver gets firmware from userspace with an asynchronous request_firmware() call. That's probably the way we'd want to do it. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
