[PATCH 4/8] firmware: add functions to load firmware without warnings v3

[Andres Rodriguez]

Currently the firmware loader only exposes one silent path for querying
optional firmware, and that is firmware_request_direct(). This function
also disables the fallback path, which might not always be the
desired behaviour. [0]

This patch introduces variations of firmware_request() and
firmware_request_nowait() that enable the caller to disable the
undesired warning messages. This is equivalent to adding FW_OPT_NO_WARN,
to the old behaviour.

v2: add header prototype, use updated opt_flags
v3: split debug message to separate patch
    added _nowait variant
    added documentation
