Instead of using a statically sized array for "firmware", just keep it
a pointer to a local copy of the firmware name.

That would turn this function into something like:

char *p, *template = "rproc-%s-fw";

if (!firmware) {
	name_len = strlen(name) + strlen(template) - 2 + 1;
	p = kmalloc(name_len, GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!p)
		return -ENOMEM;

	sprintf(p, template, firmware);
} else {
	p = kstrdup(firmware, GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!p)
		return -ENOMEM;
}

kfree(rproc->firmware);
rproc->firmware = p;

Like your version this leaves the firmware name unchanged in the case of
an error.

Let's just require the caller to pass us a valid name.

PS. Don't forget to free the string in rproc_type_release()
