If request_firmware_nowait() is called with uevent == NULL, the firmware completion is never marked complete resulting in a hang in the process.
If uevent is undefined, that means we're not waiting on anything and the process should just clean up and complete. While we're at it, add a debug dev_dbg() to indicate that the FW has not been found.
