Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] iwlwifi: corner case fix and request module changes

This v2 addresses the preference to keep things simple on iwlwifi when
requesting modules and not implementing a verifier for loaing the opmode
module. We now know what a verifier looks like for both sync and async
approaches. The already established long standing practice of just doing
best effort to load suffices and keeps the driver cleaner.

There no change to the first patch. The second patch just embraces
request_module_nowait() instead of implementing a verifier for a sync
call. The remaining patches from the last series will be sent separately.

Luis R. Rodriguez (2):
  iwlwifi: fix drv cleanup on opmode registration failure
  iwlwifi: simplify requesting ops module
