That should work fine, if the request is still valid and not timed out. I guess you either use a kernel module you load later, or you compile the firmware into the kernel. Having a monolithic kernel and a modular firmware just doesn't sound right. Or you "fix" the driver to do a delayed firmware requests, when the interface is brought up, not when the driver gets initialized, that seems to work fine for other drivers.
