Why not just use a standard name for the firmware? If the firmwares
vary per-board then building it using the machine compatible (or DMI
info) could handle that, with a fallback to a standard name for a
default setup.

The number of firmwares can vary per IC on the board itself.  So you may have X number of firmware files all with different names all targets for different TAS2563 ICs.

Also TI will not be providing the individual binaries to the customer.  There is a customer tool that the user uses to create the binaries.

So the output names are arbitrary.

I was going to mention this in the cover letter but did not think mentioning the user tool had any value
