[alsa-devel] [PATCH 2/2 v2] ALSA: hda - Deferred probing with request_firmware_nowait()

[Takashi Iwai]

For processing the firmware handling properly for built-in kernels,
implement an asynchronous f/w loading with request_firmware_nowait().
This means that the codec probing is deferred when the patch option is
specified.
