firmware: fix checking for return values for fw_add_devm_name()

Browse Source 
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.
