Ack. Originally intended to make it more flexible for future use. It can be 
text strings for current requirement.

It has been added to identify the firmware image for the platform. The driver
parses it, and then the rampatch is selected from a specify directory. Currently, 
there is a 'firmware-name' parameter, but it is only used to specify the NVM
(config) file. We also need to specify the rampatch (TLV file).


Can we re-use the "firmware-name"? add two segments like the following?
firmware-name = "rampatch_xx.tlv",  "nvm_xx.bin";

Or add a new property to specify the rampatch file? 
rampatch-name = "rampatch_xx.tlv";
