Someone posted above that the shader compiler is in the closed blob.
I don't consider anything that contains a whole compiler to be hardware or microcode. Probably a stretch to call it firmware.
But the real test is how extensible this is. How future proof is it? And the answer seems to be "at the mercy of Broadcom". i.e. not very.
