Can we avoid this cast? If we do some parts of fw_create_instance()
during the setup phase I think we can avoid it.

This needs to jump to the cont function so that users know loading
failed or that the firmware was builtin.

Here's a compile only tested patch on top. The idea is return a fw_priv
pointer from the setup function and use that to indicate failure (error
pointer), builtin (NULL) or loadable (non-NULL). Then we can move all
the uevent/device stuff to the loading phase
