Yes. Basically, you store all firmwares you need on /lib/firmware and
request_firmware loads them when the driver is loaded.
You don't need to add any extra udev magic for it to work, since there are
already some userspace programs that handle firmware requests when using
request_firmware().
Cheers,
Mauro.
