For legacy chips without CLM blob files, kernel with user helper function
returns -EAGAIN when we request_firmware(), and then driver got failed
when bringing up legacy chips. We expect the CLM blob file for legacy chip
is not existence in firmware path, but the -ENOENT error is transferred to
-EAGAIN in firmware_class.c with user helper.
Because of that, we continue with CLM data currently present in firmware
if getting error from doing request_firmware().

v2: remove retry from patch v1
v3: remove redundant log print

Looking good. However, let's nitpick (my bad). Please make it 
"..available (err=%d), ...".

Forgot to mention, but also please add following Cc: as it will probably 
not make it before the merge window opens.
