Can you see a point of my request? request_firmware_direct() does hat you describe but this is only available for synchronous requests. My old sysdata patches -- which I need to "rebrand" as the only issue found was the naming -- added an equivalent to request_firmware_direct() for async calls. The newer API simply has 2 API exported calls, the idea is we'd enable the caller to configure the request as per their requirements instead of adding a new exported routine per new feature. I'll update docs, rebase my patches by rebranding them, and also add a bit more as per some recent discussion to resolve the pivot_root() races upon init if you do not use initramfs. I'll be sure to Cc you. Luis
