Why would you want that?

It's _always_ wrong to ask for firmware during resume. "nowait" or not
is totally irrelevant. A driver that depends on the firmware being
built in to the kernel is a buggy driver, why would you want to
silently allow that kind of crap? It's just a timebomb waiting for
somebody to compile the kernel differently.
