Oops, that's clearly a bug. How did it even pass my tests without the
board file? I'll send v2 to fix that.

So my idea is that with API 2 we load only firmware-2.bin and board.bin
from user space. With API 1 we continue loading firmware.bin, otp.bin
(optional) and board.bin, just as before. And firmware-2.bin can contain
the old firmware.bin (mandatory) and otp.bin (optional) images.

I just realised that I'm missing a check that there really is a firmware
image inside firmware-2.bin, need to add that as well.
