John,

I will resubmit this patch with a fix.

I now realize that my fix has a different problem in that the firmware might not
be preserved under certain scenarios if there were two instances of the device
sharing the driver. These are corner cases, but I would like to fix that as well.

Is there any way for a driver to know that it is being initialized for a second
device?

Thanks,

Larry
