Larry Finger 4b447dd2b4 wifi: rtw89: Fix loading of compressed firmware 
[ Upstream commit 942999c48c ]

When using compressed firmware, the early firmware load feature will fail.
In most cases, the only downside is that if a device has more than one
firmware version available, only the last one listed will be loaded.
In at least two cases, there is no firmware loaded, and the device fails
initialization. See https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89/issues/259 and
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1212808 for examples of
the failure.

When firmware_class.dyndbg=+p" added to the kernel boot parameters, the
following is found:

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
