The nic has the MCU inside which is used to fix the PHY,
MAC, and some behavior of the USB device. Each parts have
different methods of updating the firmware by accessing the
registers. The firmware files are used to deal with the
processes, so I need some functions to parse the firmware
files to update the fimrware code.

I would resend these. Sorry.
