firmware: add firmware_request_cache() to help with cache on reboot Some devices have an optimization in place to enable the firmware to be retaineed during a system reboot, so after reboot the device can skip requesting and loading the firmware. This can save up to 1s in load time. The mt7601u 802.11 device happens to be such a device. When these devices retain the firmware on a reboot and then suspend they can miss looking for the firmware on resume. To help with this we need a way to cache the firmware when such an optimization has taken place. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
