The patch titled
firmware loader: printk when requesting firmware
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
firmware-loader-printk-when-requesting-firmware.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: firmware loader: printk when requesting firmware
From: Ciaran McCreesh <ciaran.mccreesh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Before requesting firmware, printk a message saying what we're requesting. This
makes it easier to see what's going on, and provides an explanation for the
huge silent delay that one would otherwise get after accidentally building
ipw2200 as a non-module.
