The start_t and finish_t variables are not properly initialized
if errors happens over request_firmware actions.
This was also detected by smatch:

drivers/soundwire/debugfs.c:301 cmd_go() error: uninitialized symbol 'finish_t'.
drivers/soundwire/debugfs.c:301 cmd_go() error: uninitialized symbol 'start_t'.

Move the debug statement outside of firmware error handling.
