loading a firmware image

There are two ways to do it. First you can just embed the firmware
in the driver itself. Second you can have the driver use the API
in kern/kern_firmware.c to load the firmware. Doing it the second
way only works once root has been mounted so automating it in the
driver would require creating a SYSINIT that runs after root has
mounted or loading the driver with kldload after the system has booted.

So i can't link the firmware image as kld module like in FreeBSD ?
also i think the first solution might cause licensing problems.
any example for the second way ?
Thanks
