Ok, a colleague of mine gave me 3.0.4 to stare at - and you're right
the patch is there. So what is still missing is caca9510ff4e5 from
upstream which reroutes the exit path so that firmware_p is NULLed
before returning -EBUSY.

Lucas, can you apply caca9510ff4e5 from upstream and verify it fixes the
issue for ya?

Thanks.
