This patches introduce two kernel APIs of cache_firmware and uncache_firmware, both of which take the firmware file name as the only parameter. So any drivers can call cache_firmware to cache the specified firmware file into kernel memory, and can use the cached firmware in situations which can't request firmware from user space.
