We should have some way to say "wait > forever". Care to change the firmware_class.c code to support this? Will give it a try. So far the request_firmware code calls kobject_hotplug with action as KOBJ_ADD. It invokes a hotplug script form user mode. I guess we need to have some reverse mechanism which is invoked when a user writes to the file. > > I was assuming that this would wait forever, and is why I pointed you in > this direction. Sorry about the confusion here. > I guess the earlier method of request_firmware would work out as is with the only disadvantage of the user having to depend on hotplug mechanism and echoing firmware name. Let me know if that is acceptable till we find a solution to wait for ever without using hotplug stuff.
