SYNOPSIS

int request_firmware_direct(const struct firmware ** firmware_p, const char * name, struct device * device);

ARGUMENTS

firmware_p

pointer to firmware image

name

name of firmware file

device

device for which firmware is being loaded

DESCRIPTION

This function works pretty much like request_firmware, but this doesn't fall back to usermode helper even if the firmware couldn't be loaded directly from fs. Hence it's useful for loading optional firmwares, which aren't always present, without extra long timeouts of udev.
