request_firmware() example ?

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

 



hello,

>From what I read in the mailing list, the principle of "never doing
this or that from inside the kernel" is repeated thousand times a day.
We highly appreciate the tireless education of gurus in the list to
the newbies like us ;-)

For example, to read/write to file from kernelspace is always
undesired. And there is a solution I got from the list: to use
request_firmware() instead.

But how to use request_firmware() for that trick (to read/write to
file)? Is that encouraged/usual solution? I looked for some examples
about the technique, but to no avail.

Thank you for your helps,
AQ
