    ath10k: activate user space firmware loading again · c0cc00f2
    Hauke Mehrtens 提交于
    In commit 9f5bcfe9 ("ath10k: silence firmware file probing
    warnings") the firmware loading was changed from request_firmware() to
    request_firmware_direct() to silence some warnings in case it fails.
    request_firmware_direct() directly searches in the file system only and
    does not send a hotplug event to user space in case it could not find
    the firmware directly.
    In LEDE we use a user space script to extract the calibration data from
    the flash memory which gets triggered by the hotplug event. This way the
    firmware gets extracted from some vendor specific partition when the
    driver requests this firmware. This mechanism does not work any more
    after this change.
