Abhay Salunke e61c0e336f [PATCH] dell_rbu: enhancements and fixes
BUG fixes:

  The driver used to allocate memory with spinlock held which has been
  fixed in this patch.

  The driver was printing the entire buffer when it received a invalid
  entry in image_type.  The fix is to only print a warning message and not
  the buffer.

Usability enhancements:

  It is possible that due to user error the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu
  entries might be missing, this can happen if the user does the following

	echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading
	echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading

  This will make the entries in /sys/class/firmware/ to disappear and the
  only way get them back was bby unloading and loading the driver.

  This patch makes the user recreate these entries by echoing init in to
  image_type.

This patch has been tested with Libsmbios and Dell OpenManage.
