If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Larry Finger 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.
