Re: request_firmware on-fly

["Belisko Marek" <marek.belisko@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

maybee I don't correctly explain situation. Main processor consist
from ARM core and 3 co-processors. To co-processors should be load FW
after boot sequence, but sometimes is necessary load FW when device is
running. So stop co-processors and load different FW. I would like to
ask if this is possible with firmware class API or if exist some
snippet in kernel alraedy.

Thanks

Marek
