I've always assumed that each driver (module) knows how to load
its own firmware into its own hardware in its own special way.
I've never tried going back and forth, but even if the firmware
remains in the device, there's little to be gained by not reloading
it, and a lot more to be gained by refreshing it (like updating it).

Cheers,
David.
