Currently the firmware loader only exposes one silent path for querying optional firmware, and that is firmware_request_direct(). This function also disables the sysfs fallback mechanism, which might not always be the desired behaviour [0]. This patch introduces a variations of request_firmware() that enable the caller to disable the undesired warning messages but enables the sysfs fallback mechanism. This is equivalent to adding FW_OPT_NO_WARN to the old behaviour.
