Rodriguez" Its reported that loading the cxgb4 can take over 1 minute, use the more sane request_firmware_nowait() API call just in case this amount of time is causing issues. The driver uses the firmware API 3 times, one for the firmware, one for configuration and another one for flash, this provides the port for all cases. I don't have the hardware so please test. I did verify we can use this during pci probe and also during the ethtool flash callback. Luis R.
