The only way to indicate request_firmware to skip hotplug was by passing a hotplug flag on the stack. > way you don't have to add another function just to add another flag. > And you could probably get rid of the nowait version in the same way. Also thought of leaving request_firmware_nowait intact didn't want to break others using this function.
