You can see firmware as kind-of an OS for the component. And just like
the Linux Kernel can't refresh itself while running, (most of) the
firmware running on a component can't do that, it (usually) needs to get
reinitialized.
This will happen during a reboot of the whole PC or (in many cases) by
unloading and then reloading the Kernel module for that component.
