3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Larry Finger <larry.fin...@lwfinger.net>
commit 452028665312672c6ba9e16a19248ee00ead9400 upstream.
The asyncronous firmware load uses a completion struct to hold firmware
processing until the user-space routines are up and running. There is.
however, a problem in that the waiter is nevered canceled during teardown.
As a result, unloading the driver when firmware is not available causes an oops.
