Hi Marcelo,
I have collected the patches for the request_firmware() interface backport for 2.4 done by Manuel Estrada Sainz. It is now in -ac for a while and I have used it in my -mh patches. It works fine and seems to be clean and very stable. Karsten Keil has tested it together with my ported bfusb.o Bluetooth driver on AMD64.
Regards
Marcel

through these ChangeSets:
<marcel@holtmann.org> (03/08/19 1.1078.1.5) [PATCH] Make request_firmware() compile cleanly This patch makes the request_firmware() compile on other platforms than i386. It adds the missing include <linux/init.h> and replaces some ssize_t with int.
<marcel@holtmann.org> (03/08/16 1.1078.1.4) [Bluetooth] Make use of request_firmware() for the BlueFRITZ! USB driver The BlueFRITZ! USB devices need a firmware download every time they are plugged in. With request_firmware() the file bfubase.frm is now loaded from the userspace and the included firmware is removed.
<marcel@holtmann.org> (03/08/15 1.1078.1.3) [PATCH] Firmware loading depends on hotplug support This patch makes the firmware loading support only selectable if the hotplug support is also enabled.
<marcel@holtmann.org> (03/08/11 1.1078.1.2) [PATCH] Make request_firmware() compile if hotplug support is disabled This patch fixes the problem, where hotplug support is disabled and an internal kernel driver uses request_firmware(). The driver will compile and load now, but it must handle the case where the firmware loading fails, because the kernel is build without hotplug support, by itself.
<ranty@debian.org> (03/08/11 1.1078.1.1) [PATCH] request_firmware() backport to 2.4 kernels A while back request_firmware() was added to the 2.5 kernel series to support firmware needing drivers keeping the firmware images in userspace. And I also backported it to the 2.4 kernel series on top of procfs.
