The shiny userspace firmware loading causes problems since it exists,

discarding it after the first upload? Not to waste a few hundred
kilobytes? That doesn't sound like a convincing deal, after all the
years people try to work around the issues it causes.
Agreed.

Rather than most drivers being told to make this step, can this be added
to the firmware_class such that firmware objects are cached in RAM and
subsequent calls to request_firmware() don't have to query userspace.
This seems the least intrusive solution to this problem.
Thanks,
