so using "/" within the name parameter for request_firmware() is  
actually forbidden. I know that some driver authers think it is a good  
idea, but it is not.

I am actually working on a patch to make request_firmware() fail/warn  
when the name has a "/" in it.

You don't need to consider any deep nesting of firmware file names. It  
was never meant to be used like this.

Marcel
