Subject: [PATCH 2/2] orinoco: cache downloadable firmware image in memory for use during resume
If card is using downloadable firmware (like Agere 9.x), firmware has
to be reloaded during resume. It is not possible to use request_firmware
for that, because tasks are still frozen, so request_firmware will
just timeout and fail. So cache firmware image in memory for later
reuse in ->resume method.

This version transparently works both with external and built-in firmware.
In case of built in extra overhead is one "struct firmware".
spectrum_cs has used delayed work to reset card after resume. After
reading multiple discussions on lkml I got impression, that this is
unreliable - there is no way to sycnronize delayed task with unfreezing
of user space.
