50 interface provides functions for loading and unloading of firmware images.
53 .Fn firmware_image_load
54 function loads the firmware
56 into the kernel and returns a pointer to a
61 firmware will be loaded into contiguous physical memory
64 .Fn firmware_image_unload
65 function unloads the image associated with
67 (obtained with a previous call to
68 .Fn firmware_image_load ) .
70 Images have to reside in
72 in order for these functions to work.
73 This requires the root partition being mounted.
