When we boot the firmware, that is during interface up.

It's device specific. Each device is calibrated in the factory and the
calibration data is stored to a special partition in the device.

request_firmware() has access only to the rootfs which the user can
flash anytime he wants. So we would have to create the calibration
file during every boot, or something like that. I guess it's doable
but a bit ugly.
