Hi Bartosz, thanks for the review.

Yes, see patch #8 where I get rid of rpi_firmware_get() altogether after
converting all users to devres. Since there is no use for the vanilla version
of the function anymore, I figured it'd be better to merge everything into
devm_rpi_firmware_get(). That said it's not something I have strong feelings
about.
