Add a Firmware programming framework
This framework handles a list of registered Firmware programming handlers to unify a firmware programming interface by hiding the details how to program a specific Firmware in its handler. This is created with FPGAs in mind but should be usable for other devices aswell. A user has two possibilities to load a firmware. A device file is create under /dev/ which can be used to copy a firmware to. Additionally a firmwareload command is introduced which can list the registered firmware handlers and also to upload a firmware.
