    wimax/i2400m: cache firmware on system suspend · 7b43ca70
    Inaky Perez-Gonzalez 提交于
    In preparation for a reset_resume implementation, have the firmware
    image be cached in memory when the system goes to suspend and released
    when out.
    
    This is needed in case the device resets during suspend; the driver
    can't load firmware until resume is completed or bad deadlocks
    happen.
    
    The modus operandi for this was copied from the Orinoco USB driver.
    
    The caching is done with a kobject to avoid race conditions when
    releasing it. The fw loader path is altered only to first check for a
    cached image before trying to load from disk. A Power Management event
    notifier is register to call i2400m_fw_cache() or i2400m_fw_uncache()
    which take care of the actual cache management.
