Are you able to un-select the default firmware?  In that case, there should
be no issue with the board-2.bin?

I expect the use case is to install exactly one of the firmware targets.

If we take the board-2.bin out of the firmware install target, then users
would somehow have to know to install some sort of board-2.bin or similar
file, otherwise the driver still will not load.

Since some boards have their own custom board-2.bin, I'm not sure how to
automate this properly.  But, if we just assume users will select the
right thing, then splitting board-2.bin out of the FW install target
should be OK I guess?

Thanks,
Ben
