We support a new chip or feature with a test driver.
The test driver is similar with the upstream driver, except
the method of the firmware. After we confirm that the
test driver work fine, we compare the differences with
the upstream driver and submit patches. And the code
about firmware takes us more time to find out the
differences. Therefore, I wish to move the part of
the firmware out.

Great, then submit the broken up driver as part of a patchset that adds
new device support, as that makes more sense when that happens, right?

I got it. I will submit them with the support of new device in the future.

Best Regards,
Hayes
