If CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK=y and CONFIG_USB_XHCI_RCAR=y, request_firmware() in xhci_rcar_download_firmware() waits for 60s to sysfs fallback for the firmware like below.
[ 1.599701] xhci-hcd ee000000.usb: xHCI Host Controller [ 1.604948] xhci-hcd ee000000.usb: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 [ 1.612403] xhci-hcd ee000000.usb: Direct firmware load for r8a779x_usb3_v3.dlmem failed with error -2 [ 1.621726] xhci-hcd ee000000.usb: Falling back to sysfs fallback for: r8a779x_usb3_v3.dlmem [ 1.707953] ata1: link resume succeeded after 1 retries [ 1.819379] ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) [ 62.436012] xhci-hcd ee000000.usb: can't setup: -11 [ 62.440901] xhci-hcd ee000000.usb: USB bus 3 deregistered [ 62.446361] xhci-hcd: probe of ee000000.usb failed with error -11 To avoid this 60s wait, this patch adds to check the system_state condition and if the system is not running, xhci_rcar_download_firmware() calls request_firmware_direct() instead of request_firmware() as a workaround.
