From d6c8aa3906d5d0e4012b9811d6e0928dc7b4cbaf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ming Lei Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2013 20:01:48 +0800 Subject: firmware loader: simplify holding module for request_firmware module reference doesn't cover direct loading path, so this patch simply holds the module in the whole life time of request_firmware() to fix the problem.
