Subject: [PATCH] driver core : fix request_firmware_nowait
From: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@...il.com>
request_firmware_nowait declares it can be called in non-sleep contexts,
but kthead_run which is called by request_firmware_nowait may sleep.
So fix it by starting thread in workqueue to request firmware asynchronously.
