3.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <[email protected]>

commit 8e30783b0b3270736b2cff6415c68b894bc411df upstream.

Due to udev-182, the firmware load was changed to be async, as
otherwise udev would give up of loading a firmware.

Add an option to return to the previous behaviour, async firmware
loads cause failures with the tda18271 driver.

Antti tested it with the following hardware:
        Hauppauge WinTV HVR 930C
        MaxMedia UB425-TC
        PCTV QuatroStick nano (520e)
