I personally prefer full firmware names. This makes the dependency easy
and even an end user can call modinfo and see what firmware is expected
by a certain driver (without looking at the source code).

How does one handle the case of updated firmware from the manufacturer,
which requires *no* driver changes?  If the driver has all of the previously
known names/versions hardcoded, then would it refuse to use the new stuff?

I'm probably misunderstanding something here.
