Shouldn't fw_get_fw_file_from_paths() be applied unconditionally?
It'll be benefit for the customized path passed via module option,
too. The only drawback is a slight code growth, but the code can be
reduced a bit with strcspn() or such.

BTW, I now wonder what happens if you pass a relative path.
Did you already test it?


thanks,

Takashi
