udev: allow firmware requests to bypass the dependency tracking
The removal of the TIMEOUT= handling in udevd put firmware requests into the devpath parent/child dependency tracking. Drivers which block in module_init() asking userspace for firmware ran into a 30 sec device timeout. The whole firmware loading willl hopefully move into the kernel and the fragile-since-day-one fake async driver-core device dance involving udev can be retired: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commit;h=abb139e75c2cdbb955e840d6331cb5863e409d0e
