I am afraid this can easily go off sync. Any reason those messages 
cannot be printed inline in validate_fw()?

Otherwise what about

#define FW_ERR_OK	0
#define FW_ERR_TOO_SMALL 1
...
static const char *fw_err[] = {
	[FW_ERR_TOO_SMALL] = "image too small",
...

	if (len < sizeof(*hdr))
		return FW_ERR_TOO_SMALL;
...
	return FW_ERR_OK;

?
