I would prefer this "pre-install" way. Because we could use rbtload for
further FPGA, but non-Tascam devices in an easy way in the future.

I've just tried it out on us122 and it's working in my environment.
If you know your rbtload parameters it's even possible with an unchanged 
rbtload 0.1! But I believe in case of two tascam devices the device number
two won't get an fw download because the module is already loaded and
the "pre-install" option can't make the download for device number two.

But Karsten's proposal could handle more devices without such a restriction
and that's a good argument IMO.
