We have a precedent for putting firmware compilers into the kernel
tree:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aicasm

But that one used FLEX. And I think the assumption is that then
you store the firmware source with the driver, and the sysfs (or similar)
interface would just load and trigger one of the pre-defined firmware
programs, not have it be sent in from userspace.
