[PATCH 0/4] orinoco: clean up firmware download

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series is a refactorring of the RFC previously posted as
orinoco: Don't keep cached firmware around permanently

The recent patch to load orinoco firmware correctly on resume simply
kept the firmware in RAM for the entire time the module was loaded, and
only applied to Agere firmware.

The first two patches extend this to Symbol firmware.

The third makes the spectrum_cs driver use this functionality directly
during resume instead of resetting the card.

The final patch provides an option to use the new power management
notifiers to load the firmware prior to suspend and release it after
resume.


David Kilroy (4):
  orinoco: Separate fw caching from download
  orinoco: Cache Symbol firmware
  orinoco: Resume spectrum_cs in the same way as orinoco_cs
  orinoco: Provide option to avoid unnecessary fw caching
