The patch below is what I have in my mind...

Subject: [PATCH] firmware: Skip usermodehelper_lock for direct loading
We don't need a user mode helper lock for the direct fw loading.
This also reduces the use of timeout when user mode helper is
disabled, thus we can move the code into ifdef block, too.
For avoiding the possible call of request_firmware() without caching,
add a check of suspend state for the direct loading case, and returns
immediately if it's called during suspend/resume. Then it proceeds to
the user mode helper if enabled, or returns the error.
