Subject: [PATCH 2/2] brcmfmac: don't warn user if loading firmware file with NVRAM fails

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@...ecki.pl>

This isn't critical as we use platform NVRAM as fallback and it's very
common case of all Broadcom home routers. Thanks for the new firmware
loading function we can achieve this by simply passing FW_OPT_NO_WARN.

Kalle, Arend: this patch is strictly related to the bigger 1/2. Could you ack
this change as I expect this patchset to be picked by Ming, Luis or Greg.
