The patch that would first try the board-specific firmware had a bug because the fallback would not be called: the asynchronous interface is used meaning request_firmware_nowait() returns 0 immediately. Harden the firmware loading like this: - If we cannot build an alt_path (like if no board_type is specified) just request the first firmware without any suffix, like in the past. - If the lookup of a board specific firmware fails, we get a NULL fw in the async callback, so just try again without the alt_path. Use a context state variable to check that we do not try this indefinitely. - Rename the brcm_fw_request_done to brcm_fw_request_done_first reflecting the fact that this callback is only used for the first (main) firmware file, and drop the unnecessary prototype.
