Just to make Alan's point a little more clear: the owner of a work
(such as the owner of the firmware) can release the same work under
multiple different copyrights. So in order to do what you want, you
need two copyrights, the GPL and some business boilerplate. You slap
the business one on the firmware that stays in house and the GPL on the
source that you submit to the linux kernel. Everybody gets what they
want - the fact that the two copies of the code differ only by copyright
oesn't matter in the eyes of the law - they are both valid.
