[patch 2.6.13-rc5] modified firmware_class.c to support no hotplug

From: Abhay Salunke
Date: Fri Aug 05 2005 - 09:52:54 EST


Oh!!Please ignore the earlier firmware_calss.c patch sent a worng one by mistake :-(
This is the correct patch :-).

Reseending the patch for firmware_class.c submitted earlier ,the patch
upgrades the request_firmware_nowait function to not start the hotplug
action on a firmware update.

This patch is tested along with dell_rbu driver on i386 and x86-64 systems.

Andrew, could you please add this patch to the -mm tree.

Thanks
