No, firmware caching deserves its own test unit on its own, but that will be
enabled through a separate test once we move DRIVER_DATA_PRIV_REQ_NO_CACHE 
to DRIVER_DATA_REQ_NO_CACHE (a private feature to a publicly available
enabled feature). This will be enabled for the upcoming work which enables
FGPA firmware upload which will first enable request_firmware_into_buf()
through the driver data API which uses this.

It would seems to make sense to me to only need to verify files when read
for the first time, once its cache I don't see why we would re-verify them ?

FWPATH=$(mktemp -d)
...
FW="$FWPATH/$DEFAULT_DRIVER_DATA"
...
echo "ABCD0123" >"$FW"

So this is really just touching the custom path stuff, unless of course the
caller overrides the above variables, in which case its trusted they know what
they are doing, ie custom test cases / setup / system. That was the goal.

You can feel free to modify this as you see fit to account for firmware
signing. If you run into issues please feel free to make adjustments.

In the end I hope we get rid of all this anyway and replace it with
a centralized way for selftests but IMHO this is a secondary step.
