This appears to reject a firmware blob which is exactly the maximum
size, which looks wrong.  Also doesn't this make the max_fw_size field
redundant?

Ben.

  		RT_TRACE(rtlpriv, COMP_ERR, DBG_EMERG,
  			 "Firmware is too big!\n");
  		release_firmware(firmware);


For all the drivers under rtlwifi, max_fw_size is set to zero whenever the required firmware file is not found. In the original version with synchronous firmware loading, the existence of the required file and it's size were known immediately, but with the asynch loading now used, that info is not known until later. Thus a parameter is used. In addition, rtl8192ce, rtl8192cu, and rtl8192de all share the same asynchronous loading callback routine, but each has a different firmware size. The parameter max_fw_size contains that info as well.

The patch is NACKed.
