Could you move this to the top of the file with the other defines?

Why not use a struct edgeport_fw_hdr instead? That could be reused when
parsing the header in download_fw as well.

You can drop the function name from these error messages that are
already descriptive enough.

return -EINVAL on errors

Use %u and %zu and drop the cast.

Space after ':'?

 Use pos < fw->size

I'd add a newline here.

This isn't needed. I had the interface wrong; fw will never be updated
on errors. Just checking status is enough.
