firmware: simplify dev_*() print messages for generic helpers
Simplify a few of the *generic* shared dev_warn() and dev_dbg() print messages for three reasons: 0) Historically firmware_class code was added to help get device driver firmware binaries but these days request_firmware*() helpers are being repurposed for general *system data* needed by the kernel. 1) This will also help generalize shared code as much as possible later in the future in consideration for a new extensible firmware API which will enable to separate usermode helper code out as much as possible. 2) Kees Cook pointed out the the prints already have the device associated as dev_*() helpers are used, that should help identify the user and case in which the helpers are used. That should provide enough context and simplifies the messages further. v4: generalize debug/warn messages even further as suggested by Kees Cook.
