    Fixed boot from san failure when SLI4 FC device presented on the same PCI bus
    
    The request_firmware interface can induce delays while looking
    for firmware files, even if no fw file is present. 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.
