This should be a separate commit, and probably it should have a fixes tag,
since this is solving a bug. I recently noted some bugs around this, I just did
not have the time to reproduce on the latest mainline kernel to report those.
One more question on this, what about the use case in which a combo firmware
is used and no firmware is loaded here? Will this use case be affected?
