[Kweh Hock Leong]

From: "Kweh, Hock Leong" <hock.leong.kweh@xxxxxxxxx>

When using request_firmware_nowait() with FW_ACTION_NOHOTPLUG param to
expose user helper interface, if the user do not react immediately, after
120 seconds there will be a hung task warning message dumped as below:

[ 3000.784235] INFO: task kworker/0:0:8259 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
