Ok, thanks. I'll apply that.
However, I thought about all that and I think I will
remove the firmware-id. It's not really useful today anymore,
due to the vast amount of different firmware types that could
even be installed in parallel to work on different PHYs.
The ID was supposed to match a particular driver version to its
correct set of firmware files. However, the driver side ID doesn't
seem to be updated and maintained anymore, so I'll just remove it.
