Linus Torvalds [off-list ref] :

Hmm. I never even waited for 60 seconds. Maybe my boot would have
continued after the delay.

The 60 seconds delay is here :

drivers/base/firmware_class.c
[...]
static int loading_timeout = 60;        /* In seconds */

It can be read and set through sysfs.

I'll give a try at moving the request-firmware dependent stuff to
device-open time in drivers/net/r8169.c tomorrow morning. It's friday.
