Hi Krzysztof,

Indeed, that's sensible. I'll add connector to the required properties.

Basically, the default firmware could be loaded in production. The
firmware content itself may be customized to restrict the firmware
update feature. That's a pure application decision of the firmware.
There could be other means to update it too (like via CC lines, with
external tools), instead of I2C lines.

Hence, the firmware-name is made optional here.

I can update the commit message with this explanation if this clarifies it.

Thanks for reviewing,
Best Regards,
Fabrice
