No such errors happen on the normal boot, presumably?

Wait a minute. So that happens _before_ /dev/sda5 mount? Could you post dmesg
from the normal boot (e.g. just prior to the buggy commit)?
I really don't get it - there's nothing for init_fs.root to point to other
than initramfs by that point, CLONE_FS or no CLONE_FS. We simply don't
have anything else mounted yet. Do you get another failing bunch of
request_firmware later? And what does dmesg look like on the working
kernel - either you have that firmware on initramfs image (in which case
it ought to have been picked by both kernels), or you do not, in which case
neither kernel would've managed to load it until after mounting the real
root...
