I remembered that I have questioned on dynamic listing/updating of firmware via procfs, looks you don't reply, :-( http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=134988208617179&w=2 IMO, it is not a good idea to update firmware path dynamically via proc because it may be too late to update a dynamic search path via /proc and drivers need request firmware just after rootfs is mounted. kernel parameter should be a good way to pass one customerized path.
