Subject: brcmfmac: use firmware callback upon failure to load
From: Arend Van Spriel <arend.vanspriel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 03fb0e8393fae8ebb6710a99387853ed0becbc8e upstream.
When firmware loading failed the code used to unbind the device provided
by the calling code. However, for the sdio driver two devices are bound
and both need to be released upon failure. The callback has been extended
with parameter to pass error code so add that in this commit upon firmware
loading failure.
