What does "pfirmware" mean here?

If you fix up camelcase warnings, please do so in a way that is the
proper Linux kernel style, not just making everything lowercase.

Look up Hungarian notation and why the original was named this way and
why this isn't needed in Linux at all (i.e. we have modern compilers.)
