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...
