Today firmware requests are done manually by the driver, in the future it should
be possible to specify just an array of firmwares and on that list specify
which firmware is optional, and perhaps if you need at last one. Then you treat
optional firmware upgrades as optional -- and only treat fatal conditions as
such. Today drivers manage all this on their own. This is something we can
later do as we have the flexible firmware API in place, but for now -- you are
right. There is no clear way to extract the semantics of what firmware
requirements really are in an easy way.

Dynamic firmware names -- indeed. Good point.

True.
