Some remarks (that might not touch the subjects you want to get feedback
on for an RFC).

Why bother with "default n"?

You're including <linux/firmware.h> twice.

Because?

And that's an internal function of the usb core, isn't it?

Lot's of "#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_USB)" and "#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PCI)"
in the code. The above function is a rather ugly example.
Is there a point to all this if neither PCI nor USB is enabled?
USB can be 'm'. Does this build and work in that case?
There's no MODULE_LICENSE() macro. If this is a module then loading it
will taint the kernel.
There's also no function that is, well, called by module_exit() to allow
(easy) unloading (and do the needed cleaning up on unload). Did you
intend DEV_OVERLAYMGR to be bool instead?
Thanks,
