Subject: [RFC Patch] netxen: remove firmware exports

netxen_nic driver can store firmwares on flash, and get them porperly and
dynamically, so the firmwares may not appear in /lib/firmware/. However, netxen_nic
still exports these firmwares via modinfo, this makes our script which parses
modinfo output fail.

Probably netxen_nic has other way to export these firmwares, but not like other
modules in a stardand way. I think we can just remove these exports, but
I am not sure.
