checkpatch.pl didn't complain about a lack of using BIT()?

Agreed that this should not be "priv_reqs" but some other better name.

static inline functions to get proper typechecking?

Shouldn't the priv pointer hang off of 'struct firmware' in an opaque
type that can not be seen/accessed outside of this file?

That way you don't have to change the functions by adding new
parameters, what you did seems a lot more complex.
