fw_add_devm_name() adds device's name onto the devres for the device so that prior to suspend we cache the firmware onto memory, so that on resume the firmware is reliably available. We never were checking for success for this call though, meaning in some really rare cases we my have never setup the firmware cache for a device, which could in turn make resume fail. This is all theoretical, no known issues have been reported. This small issue has been present way since the addition of the devres firmware cache names on v3.7.
