The overall design looks reasonable. Splitting the generic firmware
loader infrastructure from the filesystem-specific code makes sense,
and the new FIP loader is a sensible addition for ARM platforms.

Neither the existing FS loader nor the new FIP loader have any tests.
Since you are adding new API entry points like
get_fw_loader_from_node() please can you add a simple dm_test for the
firmware loader uclass. Even a basic sandbox test exercising the ops
callbacks would help catch regressions.
