orinoco: cache downloadable firmware image in memory for use during resume
If card is using downloadable firmware (like Agere 9.x), firmware has to be reloaded during resume. It is not possible to use request_firmware for that, because tasks are still frozen, so request_firmware will just timeout and fail. So cache firmware image in memory for later reuse in ->resume method. Signed-off-by: Andrey Borzenkov <arvidjaar@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
