request_firmware() is dead also.
YMMV, but three years, and there are still big chunks of binary in kernel.
And please don't add new useless info _in_ it.


I er don't think so.

Hell, what can be as easy as this:
,-
|modprobe $drv
|(dd </lib/firmware/$drv.bin>/dev/blobs && echo OK) || echo Error
`-
where /dev/blobs is similar to /dev/port or even /dev/null char device.
if synchronization is needed, add `echo $drv >/dev/blobs`, remove modprobe,
