compat: backport upstream firmware_class bug through f45f3c1f

This backports this patch:

commit f45f3c1f3f616ca1d1e1eb5e7a720ca63cb59550

    firmware_class: fix typo in error path

    In the error path, _request_firmware sets
    firmware_p to NULL rather than *firmware_p,
    which leads to passing a freed firmware
    struct to drivers when the firmware file
    cannot be found. Fix this.

    Broken by commit f8a4bd3456b988fc73b2c.
