Roger that. I should have said "GPL-incompatible firmware."
I certainly have no objection to comingling GPL compatible firmware
in a GPL'ed driver.
By the way, I'm glad to hear that the WhiteHeat firmware is
GPL'ed. I was wondering if that GPL on whitehead_fw.h was for real.
Since it is, I guess should make separate firmware package for the
GPL-compatible firmwares, which could be included in more distributions.
