Per current and future logic, rproc->firmware can't be NULL.

Rather than introducing rproc_set_firmware_name() and
rproc_change_firmware() - which does not have a use case beyond this
caller you should be able to keep rproc_alloc() more or less as is, and
then inline a simplified version (as we don't have to deal with the
templated case here).

The documentation above does not describe the "($state)" part, which I'm
fine leaving out. We know the strings are below PAGE_SIZE, so you can
use sprintf().

Please use sysfs_streq() instead, it will handle the \n for you.

Besides these nits, I think this looks good.
