The driver tries to load optional firmware files, specific to
the actual board compatible. These might not exist resulting in a warning
like this:
brcmfmac mmc2:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac4373-sdio.tq,imx93-tqma9352-mba93xxla-mini.bin failed with error -2
Silence this by using firmware_request_nowait_nowarn() for all firmware
loads which use brcmf_fw_request_done_alt_path() as callback. This one
handles optional firmware files.
Thanks, Alexander
I revised the patch hopefully addressing the other firmware related warning that Christian Hewitt referred to. I have sent the revised patch to the mailing list:
