[0] I can only speak from experience with Silead TS controller firmware, but the most likely reason why one can't simply add the fw to linux-firmware or open-source it, is that it mainly contains device-specific calibration data. This means that you need a different file for every single device. If the controller, DT or DSDT don't give you any hints to reliably identify which exact firmware you need, then there's not much you can do. Perhaps device quirks. Maybe this doesn't apply to the Atmel chips, but I really suspect it does.
