Unfortunately yes they do. We now have the notifier chains, which can be used. Firmware, especially if it is large, must be requested while the system is still fully functional and paging will work. Asynchronocity will not help much because the devices must work after resumingand delaying that will not help with respect to needing devices to get at the firmware.
