Do what we can to verify that the driver's firmware image is valid (before attempting to download it to the Edgeport) by adding a new function, check_fw_sanity(), and a call to it in in download_fw(). Note: It looks like some Edgeports (models like the EP/416 with on-board E2PROM) may be able to function even if the on-disk firmware image is bad or missing, iff their local E2PROM versions are valid. But most Edgeport models (I've tried EP/1 and EP/8) do not appear to have this capability and they always rely on the on-disk firmware image. I tested an implementation that calls the new check_fw_sanity() function at the top of download_fw() and, rather than simply returning an error if the firmware image is bad or missing, it saves the result and defers the decision until later when it may find that it is running on a E2PROM-equipped device with a valid image. But I think this is messier than it is worth (adding still more messiness to the already very messy download_fw()) for such a marginal possible benefit. So, at least for now, I have chosen the much simpler approach of returning an error whenever edge_startup() fails to load an on-disk firmware image, or check_fw_sanity() indicates that it is unusable.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
