If someone came up with a firmware update mechanism which is not
coping with unexpected interruption of any kind, then wakelocks are
not making any difference.
Please collect the resulting bricks and shove them back to those who
thought that remote firmware updates do not have to be engineered and
the resulting fallout can be blamed on the kernel.
We have proper mechanisms in place to handle such stuff, but they need
proper overall design and definitely a bit more brain usage than just
yelling "wakelock".
Thanks,
