Changing this fixed buffer to a devm-managed pointer makes no sense: it
doesn't help with any lifetime issues, and just adds overhead.

This change sort of makes sense, given that devm is already used. But
really, it shouldn't be; the name is only used to pass it to
request_firmware_nowait(), so the devm management is totally
superfluous. Better to change it to an on-stack buffer like the other
call instead (maybe just by getting rid of the owl_get_eeprom_name()
helper entirely, and moving the scnprintf() into the caller).

Changing an on-stack buffer to a devm-managed one also doesn't make any
sense.
