[PATCH] staging: r8712u: Use asynchronous firmware loading
Larry Finger

Mon Feb 6 03:12:26 UTC 2012
In https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27996, failure of driver r8712u is
reported, with a timeout during module loading due to synchronous loading
of the firmware. The code now uses request_firmware_nowait().

Greg,
This patch probably should go to stable, but I want you to judge whether
it is too invasive for that.
Thanks,
Larry
