Commit f70e4df2 ("rtlwifi: Add code to read new versions of firmware")
added code to load an old firmware file if the new one is not
available. Unfortunately that code is never reached because
request_firmware_nowait() does not wait for the firmware to show up
and returns 0 even if the file is not there.
Use the existing fallback mechanism introduced by commit
62009b7f ("rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Add new firmware") instead.

Your solution seems to be correct; however, your patch fails to apply. Make
certain that you have the latest pull on the wireless-drivers-next repo. In
particular, it needs commit f2764f61fa105 by Souptik Jarder, which changed the
error return.
NACK.
