[PATCH] [SCSI] wd719x: Avoid calling request_firmware under spinlock

[Vaishali Thakkar]

It is preferrable to use request_firmware where sleeping is
allowed. Using it under spinlock can cause blocking. Here,
the function wd719x_chip_init calls request_firmware while
holding a spinlock. So, let's access it outside the spinlock.

Coccinelle is used to detect the issue.
