New udev-182 seems to be buggy: even when usermode is enabled, it
insists on needing that probe would defer any firmware requests.
So, drivers with firmware need to defer probe for the first
driver's core request, otherwise an useless penalty of 30 seconds
happens, as udev will refuse to load any firmware.

Shouldn't you fix udev, if it really is a problem here?  Papering over
userspace bugs in the kernel isn't usually a good thing to do, as odds
are, it will hit some other driver sometime, right?

That's my opinion too, but Kay seems to think otherwise. On his opinion,
waiting for firmware during module_init() is something that were never
allowed at the device model.
