if i wrote FIRMWS = filename:shortname:version in the Makefile
then i should user firmware_get("shortname") rather than
firmware_register(), is it right ??


firmware_register is emitted by the Makefile and used by the kld to register the firmware image under "shortname". Once the image is registered then other code in the kernel can get a reference to the image with firmware_get. firmware(9) is a pretty complete description of these facilities.
