Suggest FW_PATH_LEN here to avoid confusion as most people would expect
MAXPATHLEN to be enormous.

Why not request ath3k-1.fw (for backward compatibility) and ath3k.fw and
symlink this name to ath3k-2.fw or any future version of firmware?

I think users should be able to update firmware without a kernel update
where possible.
