firmware_class: make firmware caching configurable

Because firmware caching generates uevent messages that are sent over
a netlink socket, it can prevent suspend on many platforms.  It's
also not always useful, so make it a configurable option.

Because firmware caching generates uevent messages that are sent
over a netlink socket, it can prevent suspend on many platforms.
It is also not always useful, so on such platforms we have the
option.
If unsure, say Y.
