Subject: firmware loader: use statically initialized data attribute
From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>

There is no reason why we are using a template for binary attribute and
copying it into per-firmware data before registering.  Using the original
works as well and gets rid of the following lockdep complaint:
