No, use the async firmware download mode instead of this. That will
solve all of your problems.
Thanks, but does userspace will retry if it fails the first time ?
The device needs the firmware quickly and after 3-5 seconds without it,
it goes berserk.
In request_firmware_nowait, when kernel_thread failed, where fw_work is
freed ?
Aren't there a memleack ?
