I was considering this as a future extension to the firmware API
through the new extensible firmware API, the sysdata API.

I think Linus mentioned this already, but I want to reiterate anyway.
The name "sysdata" is horrible, I didn't have any idea what it means
until I read your description. Please continue to use the term
"firmware", anyone already know what it means.

We've gone well past using the firmware API for firmware though, if
we use it for 802.11 to replace CRDA for instance its really odd to
be calling it firmware. But sure... I will rebrand again to firmware...

I tend to agree. Although some people even call an OpenWrt image
firmware. Guess it is just in the eye of the beholder.

Sure...

Come to think of it I'll still go with "sysdata", this is a very minor
detail, do let me know if there is anything technical rather than
the color of the bikeshed [0] over the patches.

If you'd like another color in my bikeshed please let me know what
color exactly you prefer and I'll consider it.
