Regardless of the device, once you write certain data to the IO memory we cannot be sure the device will wait for all IO to be written, this will be device specific. As such I would suggest READING_IOMEM for this case have request_firmware_into_buf() use it. With that said, since we have only one user of this caller, a future rename to reflect its current actual use would be good. The rename can wait though.
