request_firmware_into_buf() explicitly disables the firmware cache,
meanwhile the firmware cache cannot be used when request_firmware_nowait()
is used without the uevent. Enforce a sanity check for this to avoid future
issues undocumented behaviours should misuses of the firmware cache
happen later.
One of the reasons we want to enforce this is the firmware cache is
used for helping with suspend/resume, and if incompatible calls use it
they can stall suspend.

Add a helper to check if the firmware cache is already setup for a device.
This will be used later.

Currently fw_add_devm_name() returns 1 if the firmware cache
was already set. This makes it complicated for us to check for
correctness. It is actually non-fatal if the firmware cache
is already setup, so just return 0, and simplify the checkers.
fw_add_devm_name() adds device's name onto the devres for the
device so that prior to suspend we cache the firmware onto memory,
so that on resume the firmware is reliably available. We never
were checking for success for this call though, meaning in some
really rare cases we my have never setup the firmware cache for
a device, which could in turn make resume fail.
This is all theoretical, no known issues have been reported.
This small issue has been present way since the addition of the
devres firmware cache names on v3.7.

This will make it much easier to manage as we manage to
keep trimming componnents down into their own files to more
easily manage and maintain this codebase.
