[RFT 2/7] firmware: fix checking for return values for fw_add_devm_name()

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@kernel.org>

Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: driver core, kobjects, debugfs and sysfs, the rest · Maintainers: Greg Kroah-Hartman, "Rafael J. Wysocki", Danilo Krummrich, Linus Torvalds

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.

Fixes: f531f05ae9437 ("firmware loader: store firmware name into devres list")
