I believe you first need to indicate why you'd consider it wouldn't be. 
Ofcourse, you need to make very sure that everything that depends on the 
old firmware is done using the hardware when you load new firmware, but 
other than that I'm not aware of any limitations on when to request 
firmware (well, don't from an interrupt handler, but...).
