The p54 driver uses request_firmware() twice, once for actual
firmware and then another time for an optional user overide on
EEPROM, 3826.eeprom. The custom EEPROM  is optional but if not
present we'll introduce an extra lag of 60 seconds with udev
present. Annotate we don't want udev nonsense here to avoid
the lag in case its not present.

I guess the fact that EEPROM is optional does not matter much. If doing a 
second request you could always use request_firmware_direct(), right?

The better way to rephrase this from a technical perspective is:

I don't care about udev firmware upload as it'll be removed, and its only
adding 60 second delays. I *know* this driver doesn't require custom paths and
wierd user upload tools so lets evolve a few light years ahead and embrace
non-udev Direct upload for at least optional juju config data.
