You think requiring a FIRMWARE UPGRADE is something that should be done in the middle of a kernel bugfix series? What Q/A planet are you from?
This is a completely ridiculous burden you are placing on the individual user. A good driver knows that firmware NOT SHIPPED WITH THE KERNEL does not necessarily move in lock-step with the kernel driver. You are welcome to GPL your firmware and ship it of course....
