To be picky, it's slightly confusing that probe_deferred is also used for signalling a disabled chip. Maybe "probe_now" (inverted) would have been even better, like this: > + probe_deferred = chip->disabled; probe_now = !chip->disabled; > > #ifdef CONFIG_SND_HDA_PATCH_LOADER > if (patch[dev] && *patch[dev]) { (maybe we should not ask for firmware for a disabled chip either) > snd_printk(KERN_ERR SFX "Applying patch firmware '%s'\n", > patch[dev]); > - err = request_firmware(&chip->fw, patch[dev], &pci->dev); > + err = request_firmware_nowait(THIS_MODULE, true, patch[dev], > + &pci->dev, GFP_KERNEL, card, > + azx_firmware_cb); > if (err < 0) > goto out_free; > + probe_deferred = true; probe_now = false; > } > #endif /* CONFIG_SND_HDA_PATCH_LOADER */ > > - if (!chip->disabled) { > + if (!probe_deferred) { if (probe_now) { > err = azx_probe_continue(chip); > if (err < 0) > goto out_free; > -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. https://launchpad.net/~diwic -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
