Subject: brcm80211: fmac: remove firmware requests from init_module syscall
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e64a4b708fd5b719b54f7f969895b66bcba71486;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

brcm80211: fmac: remove firmware requests from init_module syscall

As indicated in [1] on netdev mailing list drivers should not block
on the init_module() syscall. This patch defers the actual driver
registration to a workqueue so the init_module() syscall can complete
without delay.
