We tried moving firmware download to mrvl_open(), but it's not feasible. "hu->proto" is not yet initialized at that time. So when the data/ack is received during firmware download, we can't have Marvell specific handling. Also, I can see other vendor's (broadcomm, Intel) have done firmware download in setup handler.

I will send V8 patch shortly. Please check.
