The brcms_ucode_init_buf() duplicates the ucode chunks via kmemdup() with GFP_ATOMIC as a precondition of wl->lock acquired. This caused allocation failures sometimes as reported in the bugzilla below. When looking at the the real usage, one can find that it's called solely from brcms_request_fw(), and it's obviously outside the lock. Hence we can use GFP_KERNEL there safely for avoiding such allocation errors.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
