49 * mod_firmware_load - load sound driver firmware
51 * @fp: return for the buffer.
53 * Load the firmware for a sound module (up to 128K) into a buffer.
54 * The buffer is returned in *fp. It is allocated with vmalloc so is
55 * virtually linear and not DMAable. The caller should free it with
56 * vfree when finished.
58 * The length of the buffer is returned on a successful load, the
59 * value zero on a failure.
61 * Caution: This API is not recommended. Firmware should be loaded via
