From 75da02b29fd99cb2d6ac822f2864de4d6e35b9fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Iwai Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2013 15:38:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] microcode: Use request_firmware_direct() Use the new helper, request_firmware_direct(), for avoiding the lengthy timeout of non-existing firmware loads. Especially the Intel microcode driver suffers from this problem because each CPU triggers the f/w loading, thus it ends up taking (literally) hours with many cores.
