Hi Ming Lei,

The fw_lookup_buf() is defined inside the conditional preprocessor directive for CONFIG_PM_SLEEP.
Since the request_firmware_abort() may not only be used in PM_SLEEP, could I move the fw_lookup_buf()
out from the CONFIG_PM_SLEEP block if we want to call fw_lookup_buf() instead of __fw_lookup_buf()?

Thanks.
