Hmm most other DRM drivers also require firmware. Whist some allow the
firmware to be picked in initrd it's not a strict requirement.
So I'm wondering how come there hasn't been (m)any reports,
considering that neither one sets USER_HELPER_FALLBACK.

Perhaps they also need it, or something in the sti module is done
differently ? Just some food for thought.

Emil
