p54: prevent upload of wrong firmwares
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch will prevent anyone to upload a firmware which was not designed for his device.

There's still a catch:
There is no easy way to detect if a firmware is for PCI or for USB (1st Gen),
because they all share the same LM86 identifier.
