What you said, verbatim and without any qualifications, was 'It cannot
work if what you need to do is feeding the HD controller some
proprietary firmware that cannot legally be embedded in the GPL driver.'
My sole point was that is factually incorrect -- leaving aside the fact
that your assumption of proprietary firmware getting embedded into
drivers is also untrue in my experience. (In my experience, separate
kernel loaders load firmware BLOBs from image files kept under
/lib/firmware .)

Unfortunately for this rhetorical ploy, you were, of course, like other
participants, disregarding the Subject header, topic drift having
occurred.

But you already know that, everyone else already knows that, and you're
now just wasting everyone's time. Which reminds me, I have many better
things to do.
