Subject: request_firmware() and in-kernel modules

If my driver is compiled in-kernel (and I have module support turned 
off), can I still use request_firmware()?  If my driver is loaded before 
the file system drivers are loaded, how can a user process copy the 
firmware to the /sys/class/firwmare/.../data device?
