SYNOPSIS

9       int request_firmware_nowait(struct module * module, int uevent,
10                                   const char * name, struct device * device,
11                                   gfp_t gfp, void * context,
12                                   void (*cont) (const struct firmware *fw, void *context));
13

ARGUMENTS

15       module
16           module requesting the firmware
17
18       uevent
19           sends uevent to copy the firmware image if this flag is non-zero
20           else the firmware copy must be done manually.
21
22       name
23           name of firmware file
24
25       device
26           device for which firmware is being loaded
27
28       gfp
29           allocation flags
30
31       context
32           will be passed over to cont, and fw may be NULL if firmware request
33           fails.
34
35       cont
36           function will be called asynchronously when the firmware request is
37           over.

DESCRIPTION

40       Asynchronous variant of request_firmware for user contexts where it is
41       not possible to sleep for long time. It can´t be called in atomic
42       contexts.
