Make sure you have
CONFIG_HOTPLUG (Bus options -> Support for hot-pluggable devices) and
CONFIG_FW_LOADER (Device Drivers -> Generic Driver Options -> Hotplug
firmware loading support) enabled.
I've build the prism54 driver as a module which was a good decision
because I've some problems with loading the module at system start (but
the module loads fine when the system has completed booting).
And don't forget to mount sysfs else the firmware upload will fail.
