REQUEST_FIRMWARE_INT(9)           Device drivers infrastructure           REQUEST_FIRMWARE_INT(9)



NAME
       request_firmware_into_buf - load firmware into a previously allocated buffer

SYNOPSIS
       int request_firmware_into_buf(const struct firmware ** firmware_p, const char * name,
                                     struct device * device, void * buf, size_t size);

ARGUMENTS
       firmware_p
           pointer to firmware image

       name
           name of firmware file

       device
           device for which firmware is being loaded and DMA region allocated

       buf
           address of buffer to load firmware into

       size
           size of buffer

DESCRIPTION
       This function works pretty much like request_firmware, but it doesn't allocate a buffer to
       hold the firmware data. Instead, the firmware is loaded directly into the buffer pointed
       to by buf and the firmware_p data member is pointed at buf.

       This function doesn't cache firmware either.
