Getting this when loading the bnx2 driver

bnx2 0000:04:00.0: firmware: requesting bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-4.6.16.fw
bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-4.6.16.fw"
bnx2 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
bnx2: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -2
bnx2 0000:06:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19
bnx2 0000:06:00.0: firmware: requesting bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-4.6.16.fw
bnx2: Can't load firmware file "bnx2/bnx2-mips-06-4.6.16.fw"

The firmware-related parts of the .config are

CONFIG_PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD=y
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE=""
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID=y
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP=y

Reverting commit 57579f7629a3d46c307405fbd2ea6bdb650d692f "fixes" it no
doubt there is a better fix. The patch author (Michael) is cc'd but if
nothing else happens, I'll investigate more after the weekend.

dmesg and .config attached.
