There is a race as below when calling request_firmware():
CPU1                                   CPU2
write 0 > loading
mutex_lock(&fw_lock)
...
set_bit FW_STATUS_DONE                 class_timeout is coming
                                       set_bit FW_STATUS_ABORT
complete_all &completion
...
mutex_unlock(&fw_lock)

In this time, the bit FW_STATUS_DONE and FW_STATUS_ABORT are set,
and request_firmware() will return failure due to condition in
_request_firmware_load():
if (!buf->size || test_bit(FW_STATUS_ABORT, &buf->status))
retval = -ENOENT;

But from the above scenerio, it should be a successful requesting.
So we need judge if the bit FW_STATUS_DONE is already set before
calling fw_load_abort() in timeout function.

As Ming's proposal, we need change the timer into sched_work to
benefit from using &fw_lock mutex also.
