I think we need a wait_for_completion in op_start. We need to make sure firmware load is finished.
It might currently work, though, because we have the other fw_comp completion.
Please also rename your new completion to fw_requested or something like this to avoid
confusion with the real fw-loaded completion.

Also, what about eeprom request?
