Hi,
it is possible to call request_firmware in case that I would like to
load new FW to device on-fly? I have more FW beause device has low

Thanks in advance

Am I the only one that thinks this could be dangerous? Sounds like fun! :)
Just wondering, what are you doing that requires you to overwrite firmware
on the fly?
For expain the situation: co-processors are some RISC cpus which
perrfom some critical tasks. Problem is limitation of memory in this
co-processors. It has only 8k flash. Code which is written for this
co-processors is bigger like 8k, so it is splitted to some lest's say
logical parts. That's the reason why I need to change FW on -fly. I
know it seems dangerous and completely strange :D but what you propose
to do? (code for co-processors is written in asm, so compiler
optimatization doesn't help to reduce code size ;))

Ugh! I'm really sorry, that sounds like a nightmare! You've got two
hands, and you're juggling five things directly on top of bare metal.
You, my friend, are a Real Programmer! :)
I took SPARC ASM a few semesters ago at school; perhaps you have some
unfilled delay slots ;)
Seriously, though, how are you going to test this?
