Subject: drxk: allow loading firmware synchrousnously
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)
