If the card is configured (and the 7I90 always is configured or broken)  you 
can read the card name field of the hm2 IDROM.

So if firmware is not specified in the config string the driver should assume 
the card is preconfigured and proceed to reading the IDROM (this will also 
work with 7I43s that are jumpered to use their on card flash for 
configuration)
