Don't see why it needs to be a kernel call; if you want "no user
intervention", make an SMF service...

Hello,
Thanks for the reply. But I was looking for accessing firmware file from kernel
driver. We already have command line tool to flash our firmware, but with this
approach end user has to flash the firmware again. Instead I was looking for
Linux like support, where drivers have standard support to access firmware from
/lib/firmware by calling some kernel interface. Basically it doesnot require
any additional step for end user and also driver size will still be small as
they do not include firmware in header file.

There is no standard facility for this, although I've contemplated such
a facility in the past. For now most drivers that have uploadable
firmware just compile the binary into the driver directly. Not elegant,
but it works.
