[PATCH] release_firmware() fixes

Use release_firmware() to free requested resources.

According to Documentation/firmware_class/README the request_firmware()
call should be followed by a release_firmware().  Some drivers do not
however free the firmware previously allocated with request_firmware().
This patch tries to fix this by making sure that release_firmware() is used
as expected.
