nfp: only use direct firmware requests
request_firmware() will fallback to user space helper and may cause long delays when driver is loaded if udev doesn't correctly handle FW requests. Since we never really made use of the user space helper functionality switch to the simpler request_firmware_direct() call. The side effect of this change is that no warning will be printed when the FW image does not exists. To help users figure out which FW file is missing print a info message when we request each file.
