That's fairly much the kind of thing I was expecting we might see, I'm
not sure it's reasonable to suddenly declare that overwriting the
firmware is forbidden. I'd done the version which avoided the extra
vmalloc and copy, but I've just reverted it.
Here's the full patch in the git tree
(git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/firmware.git) now. Did I miss something?
I think the only think I haven't addressed is the dependency on HOTPLUG.
I'm comfortable leaving that as-is for now. If/when we want to convert a
driver where that dependency is an issue, we can take a closer look.
