From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@xxxxxxxxxx>
Failing to load NVRAM file isn't critical if we manage to get platform
one in the fallback path. It means warnings like:
[ 10.801506] brcmfmac 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43602-pcie.txt failed with error -2
are unnecessary & disturbing for people with platform NVRAM. This is
very common case for Broadcom home routers.
So instead of printing warning immediately with the firmware subsystem
let's first try our fallback code. If that fails as well, then it's a
right moment to print an error.
This should reduce amount of false reports from users seeing this
warning while having wireless working perfectly fine.

V2: Update commit message as it wasn't clear enough (thanks Andy) & add extra
messages to the firmware.c.
V3: Set FW_OPT_UEVENT to don't change behavior
Kalle, Arend: this patch is strictly related to the bigger 1/2. Could you ack
this change as I expect this patchset to be picked by Ming, Luis or Greg?
