It should be:
  systemctl reboot --firmware

Local options of a verb should only work locally and throw an error if
used before the verb.

It is not a problem of this patch, but systemctl should be fixed to
work like that (like udevadm), and not mess all local things into
global command line switching handling. The documentation is also
confusing, where it describes in a global section the local
verb-specific options.
