I have asked you to read the document, you have probably not read it thoroughly yet.
Nevermind, that's the long version of the answer. The short version of the answer is as follows :-

You need to have a shell script called /sbin/hotplug, with execution permission, the content
is something like this :-
#!/bin/sh
echo 1 > /sys/$DEVPATH/loading
cat /lib/firmware/bnx2/$FIRMWARE > /sys/$DEVPATH/data
echo 0 > /sys/$DEVPATH/loading

That's will likely do the trick.
Cheers.
