You're right, that patch adds a key to struct attribute, and the
firmware stuff seems to dynamically allocate these things in
firmware_priv::bin_attribute::attr.

The allocation seems to happen in fw_register_device().

So yes, that patch is incompatible with the firmware usage, as struct
lock_class_key's are required to be in static storage.
