It should be done in user mode, and the firmware not
statically linked into the kernel. Not linked for two
reasons: (a) it's wasted space, (b) that's not GPL'd
in most cases.
There's a program to handle this for EZ-USB FX and
FX2 (USB 2.0 capable) devices:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/linux-hotplug/admin/fxload/
That's easy to set up with hotplugging ... just make a
script in /etc/hotplug/usb to invoke "fxload", probably
keying it in /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap with the IDs
used by the pre-download hardware.
