Oh!!Please ignore the earlier firmware_calss.c patch sent a worng one by mistake :-(
This is the correct patch :-).
Reseending the patch for firmware_class.c submitted earlier ,the patch
upgrades the request_firmware_nowait function to not start the hotplug
action on a firmware update.
This patch is tested along with dell_rbu driver on i386 and x86-64 systems.
Andrew, could you please add this patch to the -mm tree.
