  To: Michael Chan; +Cc: davem, netdev

The firmware is cached during the first successful call to open() and
released once the network device is unregistered. The driver uses the
cached firmware between open() and unregister_netdev().

It's similar to 953a12cc2889d1be92e80a2d0bab5ffef4942300 but the
firmware is mandatory.

 Tester(s) needed. There should be a difference of behavior when the
 driver is included in a monolithic kernel and the firmwares are not
 included in the vmimage.
