REQUEST_FIRMWARE_DIR(9)           Device drivers infrastructure           REQUEST_FIRMWARE_DIR(9)



NAME
       request_firmware_direct - load firmware directly without usermode helper

SYNOPSIS
       int request_firmware_direct(const struct firmware ** firmware_p, const char * name,
                                   struct device * device);

ARGUMENTS
       firmware_p
           pointer to firmware image

       name
           name of firmware file

       device
           device for which firmware is being loaded

DESCRIPTION
       This function works pretty much like request_firmware, but this doesn't fall back to
       usermode helper even if the firmware couldn't be loaded directly from fs. Hence it's
       useful for loading optional firmwares, which aren't always present, without extra long
       timeouts of udev.
