How about we go even simpler? helper_fw is *only* used inside
firmware.c anyway, and that's probably where its lifetime should be
handled. Same for the main firmware. I have no idea why the bus code
is responsible for releasing the firmware anyway, when it originates
from firmware.c and control returns back there after the firmware loaded
callback is done. Does the following patch fix your problem too?
