<dsimic>
to sum it up, it describes a possible solution for such issues, and it would be great if you'd reply to that thread
<dsimic>
having the issue you encountered described in that thread could help a lot later, because I intend tu "build a case" that would, hopefully, make my future patches for delayed firmware loading accepted upstream
<dsimic>
machinehum: please note that the thread mentions such earlier upstreaming attempts that failed
<dsimic>
which is another reason why your response in that thread would be highly valued :)
<machinehum>
What's the gist of your plan so far? I'm curious

the solution is actually rather simple, the kernel function that loads the firmware just needs to return "hey, try later"

I mean, that's the gist of it, but the realt trouble would be to "build a case" that should convince the maintainers that accepts such a change
<dsimic>
multiple previous attempts have unfortunately failed, so I plan to build a really good case that would be ironclad :)
<machinehum>
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE sucks
<dsimic>
that's why I'm asking for your input on the ML, to use that while building the case
<apritzel>
I guess the solutions needs to be really simple and clean to be accepted
<dsimic>
s/realt/real/
<dsimic>
true, and it will be extremely simple and clean
<machinehum>
Cool yeah I'll shoot off an email, because yeah the only decent solution I have is buliding the driver as a module
<dsimic>
I'd really appreciate your input on the ML
<dsimic>
and it might actually be very helpful for many people :)
<dsimic>
please provide the kernel log as well, directly in your message, which you provided earlier through pastebin.com
<dsimic>
(this makes sound like a lawyer, but hey, this is about building a case :)
