Subject: [PATCH] firmware: avoiding multiple replication for same firmware
	file

Now when request_firmware will be called it will check whether firmware
is already allocated or not. If already allocated then it provide handle
of old firmware handle and increase count of firmware.

release_firmware will decrease count of firmware, if count is one only then
firmware will be release.

Added release_firmware_all() can be called from driver cleanup or exit
to release firmware forcefully.
