I did some digging and it looks like we can actually do several sanity
checks on the firmware image.  It seems that the Edgeport firmware
images have a 7-byte header:
     u8 major_version;
     u8 minor_version;
     le16 build_number;
     le16 length;
     u8 checksum;
 
"length" appears to be the number of bytes of actual data following the
header.
 
"checksum" is apparently (from the images I have seen) the low order
byte resulting from adding the values of all the data bytes.

So, I'm testing a new ck_fw_sanity() function that checks for these
error conditions:
  1. NULL (missing) firmware image
  2. Incomplete firmware header:
       #define FW_HEADER_SIZE 7
       fw->size < FW_HEADER_SIZE    
  3. Bad firmware size:
       fw->size != FW_HEADER_SIZE + length_data
  4. Bad firmware checksum:
       compute checksum and compare to the stored version

I call ck_fw_sanity() at the top of download_fw(), so, by the time we
call build_i2c_fw_hdr(), the firmware image has already been sanity
checked.  Initial testing looks good to me.  Do you agree that I should
include my new ck_fw_sanity() function and its invocations (as a new,
separate 4th patch) in the upcoming v7 patchset?

Agreed!  My colleague, Al Borchers, and I submitted some minor patches
for this driver in the early days of usb-serial (after we wrote
digi_acceleport.c), and I recall this function being frightful even
then.  Given its current state, I think our best approach is to leave
the request_firmware() and release_firmware() calls in edge_startup(),
which I think agrees with your opinion.

Agreed.  In my current test implementation I call the new
check_fw_sanity() function (described above) here, before parsing the
firmware header.  Sound OK?

Done.

Done (via the check_fw_sanity() call above.

Done.

I think I'm close to being able to submit a v7 patchset.

Thanks.
