RSI deprecated the old firmware loading method and introduced
new method using soft boot loader for 9113 chipsets.
Current driver only supports 9113 device model hence firmware
loading method has been changed.

In the new method, complete RAM image and flash image are present
in the flash. Two firmwares present in the device, Boot loader firmware
and functional firmware. Boot loader firmware is fixed but functional
firmware can be changed. Before loading the functional firmware, host
issues commands to check whether existing firmware in the chip and the
firmware file content to load are same or not. If not, host issues
commands to load the RAM image and then boot loaded switches to the
functioanl firmware.

Forgot this:


[...]
+#define FIRMWARE_RSI9113		"rsi_91x.fw"
I see that you add the define here but I don't see you anywhere removing
the old one. I assume you were planning just to move it.
