I really don't understand why you want to make that a separate module.
Building both the bootlader driver and the real driver into the same
module will make sure that either both or none are available, document
the relationship to the end user, and allow you to tell the user that
firmware files may be needed for the real driver by using the
MODULE_FIRMWARE macro (which you should do, IMHO).

How does the user know which firmware to select?  Will any of them work,
or are they device specific? Either way I believe you should publish all
three names using MODULE_FIRMWARE.

Is this possible?

This on the other hand, will happen.  But you have already oopsed when
you test it here...
