Subject[RFC/PATCHv2 v2 3/4] firmware_class: Provide infrastructure to make fw caching optional
Date
From: Vikram Mulukutla <markivx@codeaurora.org>

Some low memory systems with complex peripherals cannot afford to
have the relatively large firmware images taking up valuable
memory during suspend and resume. Change the internal
implementation of firmware_class to disallow caching based on a
configurable option. In the near future, variants of
request_firmware will take advantage of this feature.
