driver core: firmware loader: don't cache FW_ACTION_NOHOTPLUG firmware
Generally there are only two drivers which don't need uevent to handle firmware loading, so don't cache these firmwares during suspend for these drivers since doing that may block firmware loading forever. Both the two drivers are involved in private firmware images, so they don't hit in direct loading too.
