firmware is unfortunately an overloaded term. It's often been used to refer to programs, whatever the CPU they run on. It's often also been used to refer to pure configuration data. That it's referred to as firmware doesn't make a case that it's software. Even calling it a patch doesn't, since there have been patches to configuration data, and this is what this one looks like to me. Now, I could be wrong in that assessment. If someone makes a case that it is indeed executable code for some specific CPU, I could easily be convinced. This one is definitely borderline.
