In 'rp2_fw_cb', if the\nfirmware don't exists, function just return without initializing ports\nof 'rp2_card'. But now the interrupt handler function has been\nregistered, and when an interrupt comes, 'rp2_uart_interrupt' may access\nthose ports then causing NULL pointer dereference or other bugs.\n\nBecause the driver does some initialization work in 'rp2_fw_cb', in\norder to make the driver ready to handle interrupts, 'request_firmware'\nshould be used instead of asynchronous 'request_firmware_nowait'.\n\nThis report reveals it:\n\nINFO: trying to register non-static key.\nthe code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.\nturning off the locking correctness validator.\nCPU:
