Why would you want that?
It's _always_ wrong to ask for firmware during resume. "nowait" or not is totally irrelevant. A driver that depends on the firmware being built in to the kernel is a buggy driver, why would you want to silently allow that kind of crap? It's just a timebomb waiting for somebody to compile the kernel differently.
