Which reminds about an issue I brought up before. Your DFU
implementation is heavily based on the original DFU code Harald Welte
wrote. The state machine even still have the same fixmes and comments
but you removed his, and maybe others, copyright here.

As you definitely not wrote the code from scratch you should keep the
original copyright intact and not only placing the Samsung copyright
here.
