[PATCH 16/64] firmware: allocate firmware id dynamically

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jun 16 2009 - 01:55:25 EST


From: Samuel Ortiz <sameo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The firmware loader has a statically allocated 30 bytes long string for
the firmware id (a.k.a. the firmware file name). There is no reason why
we couldnt allocate it dynamically, and avoid having restrictions on the
firmware names lengths.
