On 8660, the modem, dsp, and sensors peripherals require their
firmware to be loaded into memory before they can be properly
taken out of reset.

Drivers are expected to call pil_get() when they wish to load a
peripheral. This will initiate multiple firmware_request()s for
the metadata and image blobs for a peripheral. Once the image has
been loaded into memory, it is validated and brought out of reset
via the peripheral reset driver.
Why can't this be part of the generic firmware request API ?

You shouldn't be adding anything like this to the Kconfig. To me if you
add stuff like this it's a big red flag.

I didn't review the rest sign it might be wasted effort on my part..
