Subject: [PATCH 2/2] driver core: firmware loader: kill FW_ACTION_NOHOTPLUG requests before suspend

This patch kills the firmware loading requests of FW_ACTION_NOHOTPLUG
before suspend to avoid blocking suspend because there is no timeout
for these requests.

Cc: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>
Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@...onical.com>
---

This patch depends on Takashi Iwai's patch of "firmware: Avoid deadlock of
usermodehelper lock at shutdown"
