Does it not work for you? Indeed, but I was not sure whether it is appropriate to wait -- since request_firmware() blocks -- for user space (loading firmware to kernel) in a bus's driver probe function. Otherwise we need to use request_firmware_nowait(), which is an asynchronous variant of request_firmware(), apparently. Thanks FAU -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
