ar9170: wait for asynchronous firmware loading
This patch fixes a regression introduced by the following patch: "ar9170: load firmware asynchronously" When we kick off a firmware loading request and then unbind, or disconnect the usb device right away, we get into trouble: > ------------[ cut here ]------------ > WARNING: at lib/kref.c:44 kref_get+0x1c/0x20() > Hardware name: 18666GU > Modules linked in: ar9170usb [...] > Pid: 6588, comm: firmware/ar9170 Not tainted 2.6.34-rc5-wl #43 > Call Trace: > [<c102b05e>] ? warn_slowpath_common+0x6e/0xb0 > [<c117c93c>] ? kref_get+0x1c/0x20 > [<c102b0b3>] ? warn_slowpath_null+0x13/0x20 > [<c117c93c>] ? kref_get+0x1c/0x20 > [<c117bb2f>] ? kobject_get+0xf/0x20 > [<c124d630>] ? get_device+0x10/0x20 > [<c124e5a0>] ? device_add+0x60/0x530 > [<c117b8b5>] ? kobject_init+0x25/0xa0 > [<c12569f9>] ? _request_firmware+0x139/0x3e0 > [<c1256cc0>] ? request_firmware_work_func+0x20/0x70 > [<c1256ca0>] ? request_firmware_work_func+0x0/0x70 > [<c103ff24>] ? kthread+0x74/0x80 > [<c103feb0>] ? kthread+0x0/0x80 > [<c1003136>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x10 >---[ end trace 2d50bd818f64a1b7 ]--- - followed by a random Oops - Avoid that by waiting for the firmware loading to finish (whether successfully or not) before the unbind in ar9170_usb_disconnect.
