Why do you make up all these idiotic theoretical cases that nobody
cares about and has no relevance what-so-ever for the 99%?

Seriously? It's just stupid.

If you have some multi-kernel setup, or depend on booting windows
before booting Linux in order to have the firmware there, or you use
hibernate and switch things around (hibernate, not suspend - different
thing), and cannot load the firmware in the regular kernel, who the
hell cares?

And if you *can* load the firmware in the new kernel, just do it
before the suspend event. Problem solved.

And once more: your made-up scenario has *nothing* what-so-ever to do
with the actual warnings that started this whole thread.

You seem to *intentionally* be off in some random alternate reality
that is not relevant to anybody else, or to the actual reported
problems at hand.

Why?
