Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] typhoon: Use request_firmware()

From: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net>

> Give me a fix so I don't have to revert.

Nevermind, I checked in a fix myself.

I cared enough to fix this, maybe one of you will care enough
to test it.

typhoon: Need non-vmalloc memory to DMA firmware to the card.

request_firmware() gives vmalloc'd memory, which is not suitable
for pci_map_single() and friends.

Use a kmalloc()'d copy of the firmware for this DMA operation.
