From: Rafał Miłecki <ra...@milecki.pl>

Failing to load NVRAM *file* isn't critical if we manage to get platform
NVRAM in the fallback path. It means warnings like:
[   10.801506] brcmfmac 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for 
brcm/brcmfmac43602-pcie.txt failed with error -2
are unnecessary & disturbing for people with *platform* NVRAM as they
are not expected to have NVRAM file. This is a very common case for
Broadcom home routers.

Instead of printing warning immediately within the firmware subsystem
let's try our fallback code first. If that fails as well, then it's a
right moment to print an error.

This should reduce amount of false reports from users seeing this
warning while having wireless working perfectly fine with the platform
NVRAM.

V2: Update commit message as it wasn't clear enough (thanks Andy) & add extra
    messages to the firmware.c.
V3: Set FW_OPT_UEVENT to don't change behavior
V4: Switch to the new request_firmware_async syntax
V5: Rebase, update commit message, resend after drvdata discussion
