Firmware files are versioned to prevent older driver instances to load unsupported firmware blobs. This is reflected with a fallback logic which attempts to load several firmware files.
This however produced a lot of unnecessary warnings sometimes confusing users and leading them to rename firmware files making things even more confusing. Hence use request_firmware_direct() which does not produce extra warnings. This shouldn't really break anything because most modern systems don't rely on udev/hotplug helpers to load firmware files anymore.
