In some situations the delays exceeded scan_wait timeouts, resulting in situations in which the boot device had not been discovered in time. Boot Device does not need to be on a lpfc device. Change request_firmware use to be module paramater driven. Default is to not attempt firmware download on boot. Add sysfs parameter to invoke firmware update.
