The current size of the firmware is 88,856, thus the value of RTL8190_MAX_RAW_FIRMWARE_CODE_SIZE should be set to 90,000 to allow for some growth in the size of the firmware. Using 164,000 wastes a lot of space.

Do not change this one. rtlpriv->max_fw_size has been set to sizeof(struct rt_firmware), which is correct.


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?

I commented on this one earlier, but to reiterate - max_fw_size is not redundant.
