Why does the driver have to do it? If firmware loader manages this, then
it should let waiters know when callback finishes.

Why should the driver signal abort if it does not manage completion in
this case?

Do not quite like it... I'd rather asynchronous request give out a
firmware status pointer that could be used later on.

	pcu->fw_st = request_firmware_async(IMS_PCU_FIRMWARE_NAME,
					    pcu,
					    ims_pcu_process_async_firmware);
	if (IS_ERR(pcu->fw_st))
		return PTR_ERR(pcu->fw_st);

	....

	fw_loading_wait(pcu->fw_st);

Thanks.
