[PATCH 4/3] rt2860sta: call release_firmware on module exit, else resume is broken

[Darren Salt <linux@youmustbejoking.demon.co.uk>]

Resume breakage is as follows: it takes somewhat longer (firmware request
timeout), as a result of which the firmware isn't reloaded; and any
subsequent attempt to trying to bring down the interface results in a panic &
lockup (SysRq failure on my 901).

Consequently, it's better to request the firmware once and hang onto it until
the module is unloaded.
