Yes. You are right.

We support a new chip or feature with a test driver.
The test driver is similar with the upstream driver, except
the method of the firmware. After we confirm that the
test driver work fine, we compare the differences with
the upstream driver and submit patches. And the code
about firmware takes us more time to find out the
differences. Therefore, I wish to move the part of
the firmware out.

I don't sure if it is acceptable for such patches.
If it is unacceptable, I would abandon these patches.

Best Regards,
Hayes
