Use release_firmware() to free requested resources.
According to Documentation/firmware_class/README the request_firmware()
call should be followed by a release_firmware(). Some drivers do not
however free the firmware previously allocated with request_firmware().
This patch tries to fix this by making sure that release_firmware() is used
as expected.

README
------
This directory is mostly for Wireless LAN drivers, in their
various incarnations (ISA, PCI, Pcmcia...).
This separate directory is needed because a lot of driver work
on different bus (typically PCI + Pcmcia) and share 95% of the
code. This allow the code and the config options to be in one single
place instead of scattered all over the driver tree, which is never
100% satisfactory.
Note : if you want more info on the topic of Wireless LANs,
you are kindly invited to have a look at the Wireless Howto :
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/
Some Wireless LAN drivers, like orinoco_cs, require the use of
Wireless Tools to be configured :

Special notes for distribution maintainers :
1) wvlan_cs will be discontinued soon in favor of orinoco_cs
2) Please add Wireless Tools support in your scripts
Have fun...
