    p54usb: Load firmware asynchronously · 5612a508
    Larry Finger 提交于
    Drivers that load firmware from their probe routine have problems with
    the latest versions of udev as they get timeouts while waiting for user
    space to start. The problem is fixed by using request_firmware_nowait()
    and delaying the start of mac80211 until the firmware is loaded.
    
    To prevent the possibility of the driver being unloaded while the
    firmware loading callback is still active, a completion queue entry
    is used.
    
    Also, to simplify the firmware loading procedure, this patch removes
    the old, unofficial and confusing fallback firmware names. However,
    they are still supported! So any user - who is still using them -
    is hereby advised to link/rename their old firmware filenames:
    	isl3890usb to isl3886usb
    	isl3887usb_bare to isl3887usb
