In this error case the state is stuck at FW_NOTLOADED and the firmware
can never be loaded as you release it. In principle you should deregister
the device under these conditions.

You fail to reflect the change in status.

You are potentially leaving both timers alive.

If a timeout happens you cannot simply ignore it.

Stone cold access after kfree()
