Yes, this looks correct based on the latest ICL binary. Not sure if
we ever had a binary with multiple FWs in it. BSpec says about this
offset:

"FW offset within the package"

while for other length fields it states explicitly if they are in
dwords. So this would need to be clarified in BSpec, could you file a
request for update there?

There is a maximum size defined, we just didn't update it past GEN9:

GLK, CNL: 0x3FFF
GEN11+  : 0x5FFF

could you please update the check accordingly?
