drivers: use request_firmware_nowait() instead of request_firmware()

During boot request_firmware API call waits for the system partition
to mount, whereas kernel gets stuck at request_firmware API call,
stalling kernel boot for 60 seconds [Timeout for request firmware].
Use request_firmware_nowait API to avoid deadlock.
