Why the phandle redirection?  Why not just put the firmware blob into
a property in the QE node, or as a subnode?

Because there might be multiple QE devices on a single chip, and each
will need to upload the same firmware.  So instead of embedding the
firmware multiple times, just embed it once, and have a pointer.

You're messing up the binding because of a (perceived) deficiency in
the DTB format?  Or maybe just the DTS format.  Or maybe you shouldn't
even care about size here.  Or really, the device tree is the wrong
place to store firmware blobs at all.
