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
