If I understand correctly, rmi_firmware_update() is only called through
the sysfs. So how about you export the required functions from core you
are using and export 2 functions from rmi_f34 that will be a special
case: rmi_f34_create_sysfs() and rmi_f34_remove_sysfs() (or any better
names). You could just put your code in rmi_f34, provide noops
declarations if RMI_F34 is not set, and core will have only 2 calls to
rmi_f34.

BTW, I am thinking at carrying in my next RMI4 series your 1/2 patch. I
also want to take Bjorn and Andrew left patches so that we have a common
tree at some point. Any objections? 
Of course, if you resubmit before me, feel free to carry over 1/2.

Cheers,
Benjamin
