Not always, see Oliver's reply, there is

  fwupdate

For my Toshiba SSDs there's a Linux GUI tool provided, I can launch by

  gksudo ocz-ssd-utility

Toshiba provides additional tools, but I don't know how much you could
automate by command line. Maybe an check of available updates
and possible updates of the firmware could be done by e.g. a cron job,
too.

The repos provide a few "installers", see the output of

  apt list -a '*firm*' 2>/dev/null|grep installer
