release_firmware() checks for NULL pointers internally so checking
before calling it is redundant.

I'll change this to Acked-by, s-o-b should be used only when you are
part of patch distribution:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#when-to-use-acked-by-cc-and-co-developed-by

And please edit your quotes, otherwise using patchwork will be painful.
