I'm not convinced about that. It can sleep but its holding various locks
in most cases, and it looks like that can end up in a complete heap.

By all means *request* the firmware asynchronously in the probe, but
there needs to be a seperate method somewhere after the probe to finish
the job once the firmware appears.
