I was hesitant to include the rtlwifi fix, but settled on inclusion
because it was a product of a recent ginormous thread about the
intersection of firmware loading and suspend/resume. Plus it fixes
a bug report in the Red Hat Bugzilla. :-) If you don't think it is
worthy, let me know and I'll drop it from this release.
It looks like this could generate a build warning...

I'm getting cold feet on this one. I withdraw this pull request --
new one to follow soon!
John,
I will resubmit this patch with a fix.
I now realize that my fix has a different problem in that the firmware might not
be preserved under certain scenarios if there were two instances of the device
sharing the driver. These are corner cases, but I would like to fix that as well.
Is there any way for a driver to know that it is being initialized for a second
device?
Thanks,
Larry
