I don't really like the idea of sticking unstructured data into an ioctl, for the driver to interpret, it opens the door to all kinds of ugly driver hacks, so I think we should have writable blobs, but with well defined structures inside them, not per-driver ones. Per-driver structures will lead to binary userspace drivers that start sticking a pll timings blob on the end and require it to set a mode, because I know driver developers will abuse any interface in the worst way possible. Currently the only blob we really have is EDID and its well defined, so if we are going to add writable blobs, they need to be well defined and as little as possible driver specific, just to avoid driver writings doing what driver writers do.
