r8169: keep firmware in memory.
The firmware agent is not available during resume. Loading the firmware during open() (see eee3a96c) is not enough. close() is run during resume through rtl8169_reset_task(), whence the mildly natural release of firmware in the driver removal method instead. It will help with http://bugs.debian.org/609538. It will not avoid the 60 seconds delay when: - there is no firmware - the driver is loaded and the device is not up before a suspend/resume Signed-off-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Tested-by: Jarek Kamiński <jarek@vilo.eu.org> Cc: Hayes <hayeswang@realtek.com> Cc: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
