Subject: remoteproc: qcom: mdt_loader: Don't overwrite firmware object

From: Bjorn Andersson <[email protected]>

commit 3e8b571a9a0881ba3381ca0915995696da145ab8 upstream.

The "fw" firmware object is passed from the remoteproc core and should not be overwritten, as that results in leaked buffers and a double free of the the last firmware object.
