You have been told repeatedly that cp(1) and scp(1) are commonly used

single file module since birth, and people take advantage of that

And you can _continue_ to do that. You'd need to install the firmware
just once, and that's all. It's a non-issue, and it isn't _worth_ the
added complexity of building the firmware into the module.

We can stop there. Real-world examples are apparently non-issues not worth your time.
