From: Sven Joachim Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2017 18:10:45 +0200 Subject: rtlwifi: Fix fallback firmware loading Origin: https://git.kernel.org/linus/1d9b168d8ea9a0f51947d0e2f84856e77d2fe7ff Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/869084 Commit f70e4df2b384 ("rtlwifi: Add code to read new versions of firmware") added code to load an old firmware file if the new one is not available. Unfortunately that code is never reached because request_firmware_nowait() does not wait for the firmware to show up and returns 0 even if the file is not there. Use the existing fallback mechanism introduced by commit 62009b7f1279 ("rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Add new firmware") instead.
