[Nodeshot] Refactoring doubt: device fields firmware and OS

[nemesis]

 I don't have time at the moment to refactor the field to become a 
 table. Maybe in the future if we start offering firmware images to 
 download or stuff like that it would be a nice feature.

 The question was if we should have OS and Firmware fields or if we 
 should have just OS and in case the device is an embedded device we 
 could fill OS with the name of the firmware, eg: OpenWRT Attitude 
 Adjustment, AirOS, ecc
