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.
