no, this is wrong, you missed the other lines:
sprintf(buf, "speedtch-%d.bin.%x", phase, major_revision);
and
sprintf(buf, "speedtch-%d.bin", phase);
They are tried in succession.

No! Call them speedtch-1.bin and speedtch-2.bin
The idea of searching first with major and minor revisions is that
it helps distributions distribute firmware. Some modems require
special firmware, but most work fine with generic firmware. So a
distribution can supply (for example):
speedtch-1.bin <- generic first stage firmware, ok for most modems
speedtch-1.bin.4 <- special firmware for revision 4 modems
Then modems with revision not equal to 4 will use speedtch-1.bin,
and revision 4 modems will use speedtch-1.bin.4.
If you are a normal user (i.e. have only one modem), then just name
the firmware files speedtch-1.bin and speedtch-2.bin and everything
will be OK.
Ciao,
