> (IMO, that's a silly requirement from the FSF, I think keeping the main CPU free of blobs that it doesn't run i.e. blobs for other things does not have any meaningful benefits) Depends on how privileged the peripheral or subsystem is. And what data it is trusted with. If it can't harm the main CPU and is properly confined then it's fine in my book.
