Previously, when a firmware size request, get firmware request, or ready-to-boot request from a module timed out, the driver would log an error and free any firmware buffer, but left the module powered on in a potentially inconsistent state.

Fix this by ejecting the module's interface via the SVC when a timeout occurs, forcing it to be power-cycled and re-detected rather than left in limbo.
