Putting in the infra to support igt assembly from source will take a little time (igt assembler doesn't like the source right now, so it looks like it will need updating), and we are under pressure to get this security fix out.

In order to merge upstream, we need to be able to show the
readable source code with appropriate license for the
execution kernel and provide compiling instructions.

Compiling with publicly available tools is enough and at
merge time it doesn't necessarily have to integrate with
IGT fully due to security aspect.

If we can't fulfill those requirements, then the right place
for the blob is in linux-firmware.
