Ming Lei 32e31de5c3 wireless: ath9k-htc: only load firmware in need ... It is not necessary to hold the firmware memory during the whole driver lifetime, and obviously it does waste memory. Suppose there are 4 ath9k-htc usb dongles working, kernel has to consume about 4*50KBytes RAM to cache firmware for all dongles. After applying the patch, kernel only caches one single firmware image in RAM for all ath9k-htc devices just during system suspend/resume cycle. When system is ready for loading firmware, ath9k-htc can request the loading from usersapce. During system resume, ath9k-htc still can load the firmware which was cached in kernel memory before system suspend. Cc: ath9k-devel@lists.ath9k.org Cc: "Luis R.
