This is now reading the size out of the header of the file which is good
but it should also validate that the file is big enough to have this
much data in it, otherwise it's possible to read beyond the end of the
firmware file (eg, if it got truncated somehow). Previously the code
used the size of the file read from disk so that wasn't an issue.
