Hi, this is a series of patches for the issue we faced in the firmware loader code during debugging the problem with dell_rbu driver with 3.9 kernel.
The original problem was that the shutdown gets stuck when DELL BIOS update is performed. This turned out to be a problem in the firmware loader. Although the reason of dell_rbu driver breakage is still unclear, we should fix the firmware loader side, at least, not to stall during shutdown. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
