Here is a hand built XML file for 5i25 with prob_rfx2 firmware.
You need to add the folder '5i25' to /lib/firmware/hm2
then add the XML file to that folder.
You will need administer privileges to do this.
one way is to open a terminal and type sudo nautilus
and then your password.
after that when you run PNCconf you will be able to select
the 5i25 board and the prob_rfx2 firmware.

I took a look at the firmware you quoted.
Yes if you make an XML file PNCconf will help you configure it.
I'll try to find time to build one this weekend.
