Hi,
this is a series of patches for the issue we faced in the firmware loader code during debugging the problem with dell_rbu driver with 3.9 kernel.
The original problem was that the shutdown gets stuck when DELL BIOS update is performed. This turned out to be a problem in the firmware loader. Although the reason of dell_rbu driver breakage is still unclear, we should fix the firmware loader side, at least, not to stall during shutdown.
thanks,
Takashi
