Providing documenation on how to use these and where to obtain these is
definitely an option. The option I'm suggesting is to actually use an
internal-driver firmware upload function just as it existed before
firmware_class support which was completed in 2.4.23. I personally like 
the latter since it involves less work from the user. How about the 
rest of you?
