If one device driver calls request_firmware_nowait() to request several different firmwares' loading, device_add() will return failure since all firmware loader device use same name of the device who is requesting firmware.
This patch always use the name of firmware image as the firmware loader device name to fix the problem since the following patches for caching firmware will make sure only one loading for same firmware is alllowd at the same time.
