If someone does request_firmware from resume function... that's bad. Resume function should be fixed. Pcmcia? ti12xx driver? > It might be some unfortunate interaction with process freezing (my > favorite whipping boy), but it could also be something else. I > suspect Well. we'd like to present hardware in working state as soon as we resume (if eth0 was there before resume, it should be there after resume. not 3 seconds after resume); so if someone needs to load the firmware, they should just store it in the kernel memory, and load it during boot or during (very early) suspend.
